NCT ID NCT06477302
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
Researchers in Mexico are developing a questionnaire to measure how well lung cancer patients follow their respiratory rehabilitation program. The study will enroll 281 adults with lung cancer who are currently in rehab. Participants will fill out a 56-item scale, and the researchers will check if the tool is reliable and accurate. This is not a treatment study, but aims to create a useful measurement tool for doctors.
