Pulmonary Nodules Clinical Trial
Official title:
Ba Duan Jin for Patients With Pulmonary Nodules on Physical Condition, Psychological Condition and Quality of Life: A Pilot Clinical Study
Many researches shows that Ba Duan Jin has clinical efficacy on cancer rehabilitation, respiratory diseases, psychological health, quality of life and so on. Studies examining the effects of Ba Duan Jin on patients with pulmonary nodules are sparse. Therefore, the aims of the present study are: 1) to examine the effects of Ba Duan Jin on physical and psychological condition, and 2) to examine the effects of Ba Duan Jin on quality of life.
In recent years, with advancement in computed tomography (CT) technology and its widespread
use, pulmonary nodules are common incidental findings. Pulmonary nodules are used to appear
as well-circumscribed radiographic opacity. They can be single or multiple. There are
multiple causes of pulmonary nodules. Most nodules are benign, but some may also represent
bronchogenic carcinoma or metastatic lesions. The prevalence of malignancy is detected
nodules varies between 0.2% and 18%. Thus, the preoperative individuals would suffer from
depression or anxiety caused by uncertain progression of pulmonary nodules; the postoperative
individuals would suffer from both physical and mental trauma.
There is growing interest in non-pharmacological approaches that could potentially improve
pulmonary nodules patients' physical condition, psychological condition and quality of life.
Ba Duan Jin, a traditional Chinese health-preserving technique, combines the traditional
Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese philosophy and embrace the body, breath and spirit.
There is substantial evidence that Ba Duan Jin has benefits for cancer rehabilitation,
respiratory diseases, psychological health, and quality of life. The effects of Ba Duan Jin
on patients with pulmonary nodules are yet to be further investigated.
The present pilot clinical study aims to apply Ba Duan Jin to patients with pulmonary
nodules, and to evaluate the effects on physical (pulmonary function), psychological
(depression and anxiety), and quality of life. Participants allocated to the Health Education
Group take part in the 16-week health education including work, rest, diet and other basic
programs according to the different conditions of participants. Participants allocated to the
Ba Duan Jin Group take part in the 16-week Ba Duan Jin plus health education program. The
study plans to enroll 60 participants in 2 years (30 for Ba Duan Jin plus health education
program, and 30 for health education program), expecting that Ba Duan Jin has a better effect
on improving physical condition, psychological condition and quality of life.
