No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background: Post-video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) pain remains an open issue, though most patients experience less acute pain after VATS than thoracotomy. So far, there was no gold standard regarding pain control post-VATS.

Objective: To conduct a randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of physical thoracic stabilization on post-VATS pain control.

Method: The investigators aimed to recruit 40 patients with operable lung cancer in the outpatient clinic from January to December 2021. The patients will be randomized into the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive physical thoracic stabilization with POSTHORAX ThoraxBelt after the surgery, whereas the control group will have standard care. The follow-up period will last for 6 months.
