NCT ID NCT05179408
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a home-based telerehabilitation program for veterans who have completed treatment for early-stage lung cancer. The program lets participants choose from exercises to reduce shortness of breath, fatigue, or anxiety. Researchers hope to improve quality of life and physical function in 40 veterans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- telerehabilitation program (inspiratory muscle training, walking, resistance training, mindfulness training)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a convenient home-based program to help veterans feel better and improve their quality of life after lung cancer treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all veterans. The program relies on self-motivation and technology access, which may limit its effectiveness.
