• Lung Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

ALL

Age

18 Years - N/A

Healthy Volunteers

Not accepted

Interventions

• Targeted-telerehabilitation — BEHAVIORAL
  Participant-chosen targets: 1) inspiratory muscle training + walking (to reduce dyspnea and improve physical activity/stept count; 2) resistance training (to reduce fatigue and improve role/social function; 3) mindfulness training (to reduce fear of cancer recurrence and anxiety)
• Waitlist — BEHAVIORAL
  8-week waiting period prior to targeted telerehabilitation

Study Details

Lung cancer is the second-most commonly diagnosed cancer among U.S. Veterans. Substantial advances have been made in early detection through screening and treatment. The longevity of Veterans following lung cancer diagnosis and treatment has increased. Following treatment however, many Veterans experience increased symptom burden, particularly in shortness of breath, fatigue, and fear/anxiety about lung cancer, and impairments in physical and psychosocial functioning. Rehabilitation services are needed to address these survivorship challenges. This study will evaluate multi-targeted telerehabilitation with Veterans following lung cancer treatment, with goals to reduce symptom burden, improve physical and psychosocial function, and enhance health-related quality of life. This research will also develop the career of a physician researcher to acquire expertise in rehabilitation for many Veteran survivors of lung and other cancers.
