Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of functional inspiratory muscle training on patients who have undergone surgery for lung cancer. It aims to address the decline in pulmonary function and muscle strength that often follows surgical treatment. Participants will be divided into a training group and a control group to evaluate the effectiveness of the training on respiratory muscle function and overall physical activity levels. The study seeks to improve postural stability and exercise tolerance in these patients.
