入选标准
- •Participants will include three patients diagnosed with lung cancer, stages I-III, who have undergone a thoracentesis or thoracotomy in the last 12 months. Thoracic surgical procedures include pulmonary lobectomy or cancer-related surgical procedure (e.g., pneumonectomy). This diagnosis must be made by the patient's oncologist and medical team.
- •The age range will be 40 to 80 years old. Both female and male participants from any race and ethnicity will be included in the study.
- •The study will include English and Spanish speakers only.
- •Patients must have less than five years of voice training experience (e.g., choir, private voice lessons).
排除标准
- •Patients in respiratory failure
- •Individuals with severe neurological and hearing impairments.
- •Patients with diagnosed dysphonia and individuals who have undergone a laryngectomy
- •Participants that do not have access to an electronic device, either an iPad, tablet, or laptop, as well as reliable internet access. They will also need to have adequate knowledge of technology or participate with a caregiver who knows how to navigate Zoom.
- •Participants who do not have access to a quiet space. Headphones are optional for this study.
- •Prisoners
- •Persons under the age of 40 or over the age of 80.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Dyspnea measured by Modified Borg Scale
时间窗: Baseline, up to 30-minutes (Post-Intervention)
Scores change from 0 to 10. Higher scores suggest more severity in shortness of breath
Change in Respiratory Quality of Life measured by St.Georges Respiratory Questionnaire
时间窗: Baseline, up to 1 month
A composite score will be obtained, ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate worst respiratory quality of life
Change in Maximum Phonation Time (MPT) in seconds
时间窗: Baseline, up to 30-minutes (Post-Intervention)
Maximum Phonation Time (MPT) measures the number of seconds a participant can sustain a phonated sound.
Respiratory Rate
时间窗: Up to 30-minutes
Measured by the number of breaths per minute
Change in Dyspnea measured by Cancer Dyspnea Scale
时间窗: Baseline, up to 1 month
Scores range from 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much). Higher scores suggest more severity of dyspnea
Change in Dyspnea measured by Dyspnea-12 Questionnaire
时间窗: Baseline, up to 1 month
Scores range from 0 to 3. Higher scores suggest more severity in shortness of breath
