First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tests whether 10 weeks of online singing training can help people who still have symptoms like breathlessness 6 to 18 months after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers will compare singing sessions to usual care in 100 participants, measuring changes in walking distance, breathing effort, and quality of life. The singing program includes vocal and breathing exercises, movement, and songs, all delivered online to make it easier to join.
