Can cycling speed recovery after lung cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT06202222
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding daily cycling to standard physical therapy helps people recover faster after minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. 184 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard rehab or standard rehab plus 20 minutes of stationary cycling. The main goal is to see if the cycling group can do more chair lifts 30 days after surgery, indicating better functional recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cycling exercise (endurance training on a stationary bike)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a standard, more effective rehab program that helps people recover faster and stronger after lung cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The added cycling may not provide significant benefit over standard care, and results may not apply to all lung surgery patients.
