Summary

Morbidity in the post-operative phase of pulmonary surgery is characterised by impairment due to pain, dyspnoea and loss of exercise tolerance. We demonstrated previously that rehabilitation after thoracotomy is limited due to pain. Since minimal invasive surgery is the new standard in lung cancer, resulting in a reduction of postoperative pain, we believe there are new possibilities for post-operative integrated multidisciplinary rehabilitation in lung cancer.

Conditions

• Lung Cancer
• Surgery

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Pulmonary rehabilitation	Patients in the intervention group will receive physical therapy, scheduled pain monitoring and coaching by a social worker. The intensity of the rehabilitation training program will be determined separately for each patient by a steepramp and 1-repetition test within 3 weeks post-operative. The intervention group will be trained and educated in 2 sessions of 2 hours per week, for a period of 3 months.
