Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
