What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Summary

This study tested a structured physiotherapy program for 60 people who had lung cancer surgery. The program included breathing exercises, early walking, and posture training during their hospital stay. Researchers measured how long people stayed in the hospital and checked vital signs, fatigue, and breathing difficulty. They also looked at whether age (45-59 vs 60-90) affected results.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
structured postoperative pulmonary physiotherapy program
What this could lead to
If this program works well, it could help people recover faster after lung cancer surgery and reduce hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not be generalizable. The program is only tested during hospital stay and may not work for everyone.

Who is studied

Adults aged 45-90 years who underwent lung cancer surgery at Bezmialem Vakif University Hospital and received routine comprehensive in-patient physiotherapy (CIPT) as part of standard postoperative care. Eligible participants were hemodynamically stable during the early postoperative period and were classified into middle-aged (45-64 years) and older (65-90 years) cohorts for comparative analysis.
