Erector Spinae Versus Intercostal Nerve Blocks With Liposomal Bupivacaine for Analgesia in Thoracic Surgery
This clinical trial compares efficacy in postoperative pain management in thoracic surgery between erector spinae block versus liposomal bupivacaine injections.
Spatial Fragmentation Combined With Low-dose Radiotherapy for Immunotherapy Combined With Chemotherapy-resistant Locally Advanced or Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of immunotherapy combined with spatial fractionation radiotherapy and low dose radiotherapy on the prognosis of patients with advanced lung cancer under specific dose regimens (spatial fractionation radiotherapy: high dose region: 800-1200cGy × 3f, low dose region: 100-300cGy × 5f; low …
TELEhealth Shared Decision-making COaching for Lung Cancer Screening in Primary Care (TELESCOPE) for Hispanics
Aim 1: Culturally adapt the TELESCOPE intervention for Hispanics. Using iterative qualitative feedback from a study-specific Community Advisory Board, focus groups, and interviews with community members, the investigators will culturally adapt the TELESCOPE intervention for Hispanics at high risk for lung cancer. Aim 2: Assess the feasibility, acceptability, and implementation …
An Evaluation of Dose-escalation for Intrathoracic Tumours
This is a pragmatic trial with patients randomized between standard of care palliative thoracic radiation therapy (RT) vs. hypofractionated, dose-escalated, esophageal-sparing (HD-ES) intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The investigators hypothesize that the use of advanced radiation planning techniques to optimize dose to esophagus will permit the safe delivery of a …
A Study on the Improvement of Postoperative Symptoms and Survival Benefits of Modified Bufei Decoction in Elderly Patients With Lung Cancer Undergoing Radical Surgery
This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled phase II clinical study that included patients with symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue after lung cancer resection surgery. They were given orally modified Bufei Tang granules twice a day for 28 days, with one packet taken orally with water. Using …
Ventilation Using Radiographic Examination: Functional Lung Imaging Techniques for the Reduction of Toxicity in Functional Avoidance Radiation Therapy
The goal of this observational validation study is to determine the best implementation of fluoroscopic and CT ventilation imaging in patients having non-stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (non-SABR) radiotherapy for stages II-IV lung cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Assess the dosimetric variation in functional avoidance radiation therapy …
Effect of Modified Arm Positioning on Shoulder Pain After Thoracoscopic Lobectomy
This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial aiming to reduce shoulder pain after lung surgery. Shoulder pain on the surgical side is common after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy, affecting about 20%-58% of patients. It can limit coughing, moving, and sleeping, and may delay recovery. The pain may come from two …
Identification and Validation of Blood-Based Biomarkers for Early Detection of Asymptomatic Lung Cancer in High-Risk Heavy Smokers
The goal of this observational study is to develop and evaluate a blood test for asymptomatic heavy smokers to screen for those at highest risk of developing lung cancer. The aim of this study is to develop, train, and validate a blood-based screening test designed to detect biomarkers associated with …
High Flow Nasal Cannula Versus Non-Invasive Ventilation in Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive lung disease is a disabling disease that affects people usually after several years of smoke tobacco exposure and affects millions of patients worldwide. The disease is marked by multiples episode of worsening, termed exacerbations necessitating frequent hospitalizations. During these exacerbations, patients present breathless, and in the most severe …
Balance Training Following Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Balance in People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
This study aims to see if a co-designed balance training programme called Sport4Steadiness (S4S), is acceptable to people with COPD and if the study procedures, including recruitment and the collection of outcomes, is feasible.
