Targeted Telerehabilitation for Lung Cancer Survivors

This study is testing a program called "Targeted-telerehabilitation" for Veterans who have completed treatment for stage I-III lung cancer. Many Veterans experience shortness of breath (dyspnea), fatigue, and anxiety after treatment. This program aims to help with these issues and improve overall health and well-being. Targeted-telerehabilitation offers choices like inspiratory muscle training and walking to help with breathing, resistance training for fatigue, and mindfulness for anxiety. Researchers want to see if this program improves health-related quality of life (how well you feel and function) after 8 weeks. You may be able to join if you are an adult Veteran, 18 or older, and completed curative treatment for lung cancer within the last 1 to 6 months. The study is currently recruiting about 40 participants, but its exact status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study where participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the Targeted-telerehabilitation program or be on a waitlist for 8 weeks before starting the program. About 40 participants are planned for this study.
What's involved
Participants will engage in an 8-week targeted telerehabilitation program. The specific activities depend on the participant's chosen targets.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Health-related quality of life will be measured at the end of the 8-week intervention period.
