Different Types of Massage Therapy to Reduce Anxiety During Chemotherapy Infusion in Patients With Cancer (NCT07184294)
Assessing the Feasibility of Different Types of Massage to Reduce Anxiety During Chemotherapy Infusion
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This clinical trial tests how well different types of massage therapy works to reduce anxiety during chemotherapy infusions in patients with cancer. Many cancer patients experience moderate to severe anxiety and anxiety can worsen by the anticipation of medical procedures that patients have to receive, particularly chemotherapy. Massage therapy, as a complementary treatment, has shown promise in lessening both physical and psychological symptoms associated with cancer and its treatments. Research has also shown the benefits of massage therapy in reducing pain, stress, anxiety, nausea (upset stomach), fatigue (tiredness), and depression in cancer patients. Different types of massage therapy may potentially reduce some cancer patients' symptoms, enhance their treatment, and reduce treatment related side effects.
