U.S., April 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06919185) titled 'Short- and Long-term Effects of Robot-assisted Plication in Diaphragmatic Paralysis' on March 26.
Brief Summary: Diaphragmatic paralysis may lead to severe symptoms such as breathlessness and reduced physical capacity.
Diaphragmatic plication using Robotic-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique developed to improve lung function by correcting diaphragmatic elevation.
While its benefits have been reported in retrospective reports, prospective studies are lacking.
This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of robot-assisted diaphragmatic plication on subjective breathlessness...
