Summary

This study tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine formula called modified Bufei Decoction can reduce cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath in elderly patients who have had lung cancer surgery. About 174 participants will receive either the herbal granules or a placebo twice daily for 28 days. Researchers will measure symptom changes using a standard symptom scale.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Jiawei Bufei Tang granules (a traditional Chinese herbal formula)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural option to reduce common post-surgery symptoms like cough and fatigue in older lung cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 2 trial with only 174 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The herbal mixture is complex and its active ingredients are not fully understood.
