Investigation of the Effects of Tele-Yoga Training in Individuals With Lung Cancer Undergoing Lung Resection Surgery
The Effects of an 8-Week Tele-Yoga Program on Postoperative Recovery in Patients With Lung Cancer Undergoing Lung Resection
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 21 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of an 8-week tele-yoga intervention in individuals with lung cancer who have undergone lung resection surgery. The intervention group will receive supervised yoga sessions via online synchronous video conferencing, while the control group will continue with standard post-operative care. The primary outcome is exercise capacity (6-minute walk test), with secondary outcomes including pulmonary function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, physical activity level, dyspnea, fatigue, sleep quality, anxiety and depression, and quality of life. It is hypothesized that tele-yoga will improve physical and psychological recovery post-surgery and may serve as a feasible home-based pulmonary rehabilitation alternative.
