Mindfulness program aims to ease lung cancer breathlessness
NCT ID NCT07281300
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 6-week mindfulness-based program for lung cancer patients struggling with breathlessness, cough, and fatigue. The program combines mindful breathing, relaxation, cough control, acupressure, and light exercise. Researchers will check if it's practical and liked by patients, and also use brain scans to see how it affects the brain.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mindfulness-Oriented Respiratory Distress Symptom Intervention (M-RDSI) - a behavioral program combining mindfulness, breathing techniques, acupressure, and exercise
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to manage tough symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue in lung cancer patients, improving daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It's too early to know if the program truly helps or just seems promising.
