Self-Management Support for Lung Cancer Patients With Cachexia

Efficacy of Self-Management Support on Nutritional Status in Lung Cancer Patients With Cancer Cachexia Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trail

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a self-management support program combining exercise and nutrition intervention for lung cancer patients with cancer cachexia anorexia syndrome. This study is conducted in two stages. In the first stage (Pilot Phase), the researchers aim to assess the feasibility of the intervention and its potential impact on nutritional status in 20 participants. Based on these preliminary results, the intervention protocol or supervision model may be refined for the subsequent full-scale trial. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the combined exercise and nutrition self-management support program feasible for lung cancer patients with cachexia? Can this integrated intervention improve the nutritional status of these patients compared to routine care? Participants in the intervention group will receive self-management support-based education to develop personalized exercise plans and ensure adequate protein intake. The researchers will compare this group to a control group receiving routine health education to evaluate differences in nutritional outcomes.
