First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving patients personalized education before minimally invasive lung surgery helps lower anxiety and improve recovery. 156 adults will receive either routine education or tailored audio-visual materials and counseling based on their specific concerns. Researchers will measure anxiety, pain, nausea, sleep, and quality of life 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
- preoperative individualized education (audio-visual materials and counseling)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that tailored education before surgery helps patients feel less anxious and recover faster.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The effect on recovery may be modest.
