Visual feedback in inspiratory muscle training after lobectomy

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

Researchers compare conventional inspiratory muscle training with a version that uses a smart adaptor and a mobile app to show visual feedback. The aim is to see if the visual feedback changes how patients perform the training, their motivation, adherence, and perception of dyspnea after video-assisted lobectomy for NSCLC. Training uses a threshold-loading device at 40% of maximal inspiratory pressure, with three sets of ten breaths, performed on postoperative day 1 and after a rest period. Outcomes are measured around each training session. The study is conducted at Hacettepe University in Ankara and focuses on early postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation.
