Strides for Life I: Increasing Physical Activity in Stage 1 Lung Cancer Patients

February 6, 2018 updated by: Weill Medical College of Cornell University

Strides For Life I: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Induction of Positive Affect to Increase Physical Activity in Early Stage Lung Cancer Survivors

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate, among 54 stage early stage lung cancer patients, whether a behavioral intervention versus an educational Control group results in improved function at 6-months.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a two arm randomized controlled trial that will evaluate, among 54 stage 1 non-small cell lung cancer patients, whether induction of positive affect vs. an educational Control group, results in improved function as assessed by the 6-minute Walk Test. Our primary outcome will be a within-patient change in the 6-Minute Walk Test at 6 months.
