Clinical Trial Summary

Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death and is the most frequent cancer in both sexes.Respectable lung tumor with abnormal lung function, usually because of tobacco use, have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), coronary artery disease, and/or old age as underlying comorbidities. Until recent, most exercise prescribed using aerobic exercise programs. Baduanjin is a type of movement-based mind-body intervention. It is a form of traditional practice designed to promote physical and psychological health, manage symptoms, and relieve stress during illness. The impacts of a Baduanjin exercise-based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program for patients recovering from respectable lung tumor on Meridian Energy Analysis Device (MEAD100, Med- Pex Enterprises, Taichung, Taiwan), lung function and heart rate variability has yet to be assessed. This trial evaluates whether the Baduanjin exercise would provide effective lung function, meridian energy and HRV in patients following lung operative.

• Agreed to receive exercise performed.

Exclusion Criteria:

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung
• Lung Cancer Non Small Cell

Intervention

Other:
• usual care
Routine care

Behavioral:
• Walk
Walk 30mins
• Baduanjin
Baduanjin exercise is moderate in intensity and short in duration (a set of Baduanjin takes about 12 minutes). Baduanjin consists of the sitting and standing practicing form. The sitting Baduanjin exercise conforms to the aspects of low-intensity and long-term aerobic activity, which is suitable for the rehabilitation training of patients who are in stable condition during hospitalization. The standing Baduanjin is more suitable for patients with sequential rehabilitation after discharge and can be adjusted based on the patient's condition
• Baduanjin plus walk
Walk 30mins then Baduanjin 12mins per day, 5 times per week.

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The 24 points skin electric conductance over bilateral wrist and foot in patients undergoing lung operative, after admission baseline evaluation before lung operative as assessed using M.E.A.D (Meridian Energy Analysis Device):Baseline	The electrical conductance of the acupuncture points of human subject can be measured by a computerized testing instrument with a very low electrical current. Ryodoraku theory has been shown to be a supplementary diagnostic method for selective diseases and a useful parameter for evaluating therapeutic effects of acupuncture. The electrical conductance of an acupoint was measured using a Meridian Energy Analysis Device (MEAD100, Med- Pex Enterprises, Taichung, Taiwan) operating at DC 12V and 0 to 200A. The method and procedure of the MEAD is based on the Ryodoraku theory and is similar to equipment used in previous studies.	Baseline
