Summary

This study tests whether adding acupuncture to standard breathing exercises helps people recover lung function after surgery to remove a lung nodule. Half of the 56 participants will get acupuncture plus usual care, while the other half gets usual care alone. Lung function, pain, and breathing will be measured one week after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Acupuncture
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to help people breathe better and recover faster after lung surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 56 people. Acupuncture may not provide significant benefit over standard breathing exercises alone.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 56 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Apr 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jan 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: \- Patients aged between 18 and 65 years. Diagnosed with a single pulmonary lesion (e.g., solitary pulmonary nodule or adenocarcinoma in situ). Scheduled to undergo elective wedge resection for the lung lesion. Exclusion Criteria: * History of prior lung resection. Medical history of asthma or pulmonary tuberculosis. History of pneumothorax prior to the current surgery. Expectation to receive rehabilitation therapies other than the standard protocol-defined incentive spirometry during the study period. Presence of other major systemic diseases (e.g., severe cardiovascular, renal, or hepatic impairment) that, in the investigator's opinion, render the patient unsuitable for trial participation.
