Can exercise and relaxation before lung surgery boost recovery?
NCT ID NCT07584239
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two programs—one in-person and one virtual—that combine exercise and relaxation techniques for people about to have lung cancer surgery. The goal is to see if starting these programs before surgery helps patients recover faster, feel better, and possibly shorten hospital stays. About 30 adults with lung cancer will participate, and researchers will track how well they stick with the program and their recovery outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Exercise and relaxation programs (ROAR-LCS and BeFitMe)
What this could lead to
If successful, these programs could become standard pre-surgery care to help lung cancer patients recover faster and feel better after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The programs require patient commitment, and benefits are not guaranteed.
