Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
Examining the Effect of Healing Touch on Radiotherapy-induced Fatigue
RATIONALE: Healing touch therapy may be effective in lessening fatigue in women with breast
cancer who are undergoing radiation therapy.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well healing touch works in treating
fatigue in women undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the ability to recruit and retain patients with breast cancer receiving
curative radiotherapy in a Complementary and Alternative Medicine trial.
- To determine the acceptability of weekly healing touch therapy to patients with breast
cancer who receive curative radiotherapy.
- To examine the effect of healing touch on fatigue and quality of life for patients with
breast cancer receiving radiotherapy as a component of therapy.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified by type of treatment (radiotherapy alone vs chemotherapy
completed prior to radiotherapy)
- Arm I:Patients receive healing-touch therapy administered once a week for 45 minutes by
a healing-touch therapist for the duration of radiotherapy.
- Arm II: Patients receive sham-therapy administered once a week for 45 minutes by a
sham-practitioner (NOT a healing-touch therapist) for the duration of radiotherapy.
Patients complete the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) and a demographic
variables form (age, race/ethnicity, marital status, employment) at baseline. Patient
fatigue is measured on a weekly basis throughout radiotherapy with completion of the Brief
Fatigue Inventory (BFI). The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast form (FACT-B) is
completed at baseline and the end of radiotherapy. Patients undergo a 20-minute interview at
the end of study to determine the acceptability of the intervention.
