Filter by:The primary aims of the proposed trial are centered around examining the feasibility of conducting a prospective, chiropractic intervention study on a population of cancer survivors living in and around Atlanta, Georgia. This includes evaluating various implementation outcomes including recruitment, adherence, tolerability, retention, acceptability, and data fidelity. The results of this trial will inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) that has an increased focus on the efficacy/effectiveness of chiropractic care on chronic cancer-related fatigue (CCRF) and other cancer-related sequelae in cancer survivors.
This study will be conducted with a randomized controlled study model to examine the effect of music therapy on nausea, vomiting and anxiety levels in children diagnosed with oncological cancer receiving cisplatin. The research is planned to be carried out at Dokuz Eylül University Nevvar-Salih İşgören Children's Hospital Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Clinic between December 2023 and December 2024. There is no application for music therapy in the operation of this hospital and clinic.
This is a pilot, two-arm, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled cross-over clinical trial to study the safety and effect of 14 days of kava on anxiety and physiologic stress in survivors of cancer and its treatment. Participants will be randomized to take either kava first or placebo first. Kava 75 mg or placebo will be taken three time daily (TID) for 14 days (Period 1), followed by a washout period of 14-28 days. Thereafter, the participant will take either placebo or kava TID for 14 days (Period 2), whichever he/she did not take in Period 1.
This study aims to conduct a feasibility trial to examine the feasibility and acceptability of conducting a randomized controlled trial that evaluates the effect of the weight management intervention on anthropometric measures (body weight and BMI), dietary quality, physical activity levels, physical and psychosocial functioning, self- efficacy for weight loss and quality of life.
The purpose of this research is to assess how patients with cancer being treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) manage symptoms related to cancer and/or its treatment. Patients use a variety of ways to manage symptoms including traditional and alternative treatments including cannabis, acupuncture, etc. This research will have an important impact on our knowledge of cancer symptom management, and ultimately improve patient care and safety. Participants will complete online surveys and 7 days of ecological momentary assessments at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 month to compare the cannabis users and non cannabis users symptoms.
Using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework, an engineering-based approach to efficiently and systematically develop, optimize, and evaluate behavioral interventions, this study will test three components: (1) 1:1 counseling with a registered dietitian, (2) behavioral skills development, and (3) group support for delivery alongside a core nutrition curriculum within a clinical exercise oncology program.
This study is recruiting participants to donate 2 capillary blood samples to be tested on the investigational system. At the same time, remnant routine blood samples used for Complete Blood Count (CBC) testing from the same participants will be tested on the investigation system. The participants' routine CBC results analyzed on the gold standard laboratory analyzer (comparator) will be collected and compared against the results obtained from the testing of capillary blood samples and remnant blood samples on the investigational system. The participants' involvement in the study is only for the duration of collecting the blood samples. No follow-up is anticipated. The results from the investigational system is for research use only and will not inform or change the participants' treatment or care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the process and outcomes of an implementation program designed to implement fear of cancer screening, referral and management into routine cancer care clinics, using a stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial.
A sequential multiple-assignment randomized controlled trial (SMART) will be used to assess the effect of an adaptive stepped-care intervention on FCR in cancer survivors with subclinical levels of fear of cancer recurrence.
When a doctor suspects cancer, often a biopsy is taken for testing to confirm if cancer is present. Usually, doctors would wait for the results of a biopsy before delivering radiation, but this may lead to a patient having to wait for a treatment that he or she urgently needs. With long wait times for biopsies in Canada, this may lead to symptoms and risks of complications from cancer in the meantime. Therefore, this study is being done to answer the following question: Is it safe and feasible to deliver radiation before obtaining a biopsy in a carefully selected group of patients who urgently need radiation treatment.
