Exercise Rehabilitation in Veteran Cancer Survivors (NCT03621813)
Progressive Activity-Based Rehabilitation in Veteran Cancer Survivors With Chronic Pain
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Exercise rehabilitation has the potential as a non-pharmacological approach to reduce persistent neuropathic pain in Veterans with lung cancer. By examining the effects of exercise training in Veteran cancer survivors with NSCLC, there is the potential to revolutionize care for a: common, debilitating, and inadequately treated symptom in a growing population. This could lead to a larger investigation to fill critical gaps in the literature and at the same time help discover a new model of care for Veterans with chronic pain. The ultimate goal is to reduce this type of pain for the growing population of cancer survivors while simultaneously reducing the need for problematic opioid management.
