Perioperative Cognitive Training in Thoracic Surgery

NCT04563234 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2023-01-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

More than 30% of patients undergoing thoracic surgical procedures develop persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP), which results in impaired functioning, diminished quality of life, and increased risk of chronic opioid use. The proposed project aims to determine whether a prospective, randomized, controlled study of smartphone-based perioperative cognitive flexibility training will reduce the incidence of PPSP in high-risk individuals undergoing thoracic surgery.

Conditions

  • Pain, Postoperative
  • Cognitive Function Abnormal
  • Lung Cancer

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

COFLEX neurocognitive training

The COFLEX training group will then be provided with the cognitive training module and participants will be required to complete a targeted 30-minute daily training until the day of surgery, and then after the surgery, for a total of 6 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Crossword puzzles

The control (crossword puzzles) group will be given a training module, where they can access crossword puzzles on the same platform, and can do puzzles whenever they desire over the 6-week time period.
