Assessment of Functional Capacity, Pain, Cognitive and Respiratory Functions in Lung Cancer Survivors
- Conditions
- Lung NeoplasmSurvivorship
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: Functional capacity
- Registration Number
- NCT04431921
- Lead Sponsor
- Hacettepe University
- Brief Summary
Serious side effects occurs with disease and treatments in survival after lung cancer. For this reason, functional capacity, cognitive status, pain perception and respiratory functions may be affected in lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and endurance, functional capacity, pain, cognitive status level, and physical activity in lung cancer patients and compare with the findings of healthy subjects
- Detailed Description
This study was participated lung cancer patients survivors. Patients' pulmonary function test, functional capacity, respiratory muscle strength and endurance, pain and cognitive status was assessed and recorded.
Pulmonary function testing (PFT), mouth pressure measurement (MIP- maximal inspiratory pressure and MEP- maximal expiratory pressure), respiratory muscle endurance test, six minute walk test (6MWT) and pain threshold and tolerance test were used. In addition to physiological measurements, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale was used to evaluate cognitive status, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to determine the level of physical activity.

Group Intervention Description Lung cancer patients Functional capacity Lung cancer survivors who had stable conditions and routine follow-up at Hacettepe University Oncology Hospital Healthy subjects Functional capacity No health problems related or affect outcome measure parameters examined in this study.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Functional capacity 15 minutes Six minute walk test: Distance walked in six minute was recorded
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Physical activity level 5 minutes International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form
Cognition using MoCA-Test 10 minutes Cognitive function was evaluated with the secreening tool the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The MoCA is a 30-point screening tool. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Pressure pain threshold assessment 15 minute Pressure pain threshold was evaluated via algometer. The pressure at which the individual first reported pain was recorded.
Pulmonary functions test 15 minutes pulmonary functions assessment via spirometry
Pressure pain tolerance assessment 15 minute Pressure pain tolerance test was evaluated via algometer.The pressure at which the individual last pressure point at which they could endure the pain was recorded.
Respiratory muscle strength assessment 10 minutes Respiratory muscle strength was evaluated by measuring maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP).
Respiratory muscle endurance 10 minutes Pressure time unit: A constant load test was used to evaluate respiratory muscle endurance. Using a PowerBreathe device (HaB International Ltd., Southam, UK), the participants were asked to breathe maintaining a constant threshold (60% of MIP) until task failure, and the test duration was recorded. Results were obtained by multiplying the set pressure by the test duration
