Active clinical trials for "Multiple Pulmonary Nodules"

This is a study to determine how a virtual model for the management of lung nodules compares to a face-to-face clinic for patient satisfaction, quality of life and cost.

This study is designed to evaluate clinical safety and diagnostic accuracy of the robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with biopsy performed with the Monarch™ Endoscopy Platform in a broad range of patients with pulmonary lesions.

With the popularization of CT screening, the detection rate of small lung nodules has greatly increased. Therefore, the clinical thoracoscopic lung nodule biopsy and sub-lobectomy for radical resection of lung cancer are greatly required. Accurate resection of lung nodule depends on precise localization of pulmonary nodules. However, preoperative CT-guided Hook-wire positioning under local anesthesia, which is the current primary localization method, requires high equipment and expense, and may cause physical and mental trauma to the patient. Augmented reality (AR) is an innovative technology that superimpose a virtual scene into the real environment by fusing images, videos, or computer-generated models with patients during surgical operations. It can visually display the anatomical structures of organs or lesions, which significantly improves surgical efficiency. This project intends to use AR technology to localize the solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) before surgery, compared with CT-guided Hook-wire localization. Compared with the localization of SPNs under CT guidance, AR-assisted localization technology apparently is less time-consuming and can be performed immediately before surgery under general anesthesia, lessening pain, reduce costs of time and equipment, increase the success rate of sub-lobectomy, and improve the overall efficiency of surgical treatment of pulmonary nodules.

As the detection of small pulmonary nodules continuously grows, the intraoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules is in great demand. The intraoperative localization nowadays is usually done under local anesthesia before surgery. There is a certain rate of failure and complication. The result of our early animal experiments show that the pulmonary surgery marker system can deliver the intraoperative localization safely and precisely under anesthesia, and the average distance between the localization and the simulated lesion is less than 5mm during surgery. Therefore, the safety and feasibility of the system require further evaluation in patients

The aim of this study is to study the safety and effectiveness of the effects on the perioperative pain control comparing between the thoracic paravertebral nerve block using the camera guided and the intrathoracic intercostals nerve block for the management of nonintubated local regional analgesia in uniport thoracoscopic surgery for the undetermined solitary nodules patients.

This study will determine the feasibility of the novel Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence localization technique with a Laser fluorescence thoracoscope system. The primary objective of this study is to prove the validity and safety of our novel fluorescent localization method with utilized ICG and novel near infra-red fluorescence videoscope system.

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.

The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Augmented Reality Navigation System through intra-airway navigation system to guide bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules and explore the factors of diagnosis yield.

The purpose of this study is to actively monitor patients with multiple pulmonary Ground-glass Nodules (GGNs), in order to provide evidence for multiple GGNs treatment.

The trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three-dimensional printed navigational template in the clinical application of small peripheral lung nodule localization.
