What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a 4-week program of exercise, nutrition advice, and stress management before major chest surgery can improve heart rate variability (a sign of good nervous system health) and shorten hospital stays. One hundred adults scheduled for lung surgery will be randomly assigned to either the program or standard care. The goal is to see if preparing the body before surgery leads to a faster, smoother recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Multimodal prehabilitation program (exercise, nutrition optimization, and distress-coping techniques)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a short pre-surgery program helps patients recover faster and have a smoother hospital stay.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (100 people) looking at a heart rate measure, not direct outcomes like complications. The program may not meaningfully change recovery or hospital stay length.

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

100 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Jul 2024

Expected to finish

Oct 2026

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.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

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

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients scheduled to undergo major thoracic surgery including lobectomy, bilobectomy, anatomical segmentectomy, and pneumonectomy with general anesthesia; * Patients ≥18 years of age at the time of randomization; * Patients who provide written informed consent to participate. Exclusion Criteria: * New York Heart Association classes 3-4; * End-stage organ dysfunction; * American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classes 4-5; * Disabling orthopedic, neuromuscular, and psychiatric diseases; * Other medical conditions that preclude safe training. * Atrial fibrillation or other arrhythmia (e.g. bigeminy, trigeminy) that preclude heart rate variability analysis. * Unable to provide written informed consent to participate
