Filter by:RATIONALE: Learning about quality of life, symptoms, and health behaviors in colorectal cancer survivors may help to determine the long-term effects of colon and rectal cancer treatments and may help to improve the quality of life for future cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at patient-reported outcomes in long-term survivors of colon and rectal cancers.
RATIONALE: Yoga may help improve sleep, fatigue, and quality of life in cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well yoga works in treating sleep disturbance in cancer survivors.
Bright light therapy has been used to safely and effectively treat conditions such as Seasonal Affective Disorder and to regularize sleep in patients with circadian rhythm disorder. Based on evidence of the link between bright light, serotonin, mood and carbohydrate metabolism, it has been suggested that bright light therapy can improve weight loss but the literature on the subject is sparse. Further, the literature suggests that apart from any changes in mood and carbohydrate metabolism, bright light may reduce the unpleasant side-effects of exercise and increase compliance to an exercise program.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The overall goal of this study is to compare bystander fatigue and CPR quality after 5 minutes of the new 30:2 versus the old 15:2 chest compression to ventilation International Resuscitation Guidelines, in a population aged 55 or greater. More specifically, we will compare each CPR ratio with regard to: 1. The achieved frequency and depth of chest compressions, 2. Participant rating of their perceived level of exertion, and 3. Resulting serum lactate levels in a subset of the participants. STUDY HYPOTHESIS In a population aged 55 or greater, the new 30:2 CPR ratio will lead to: 1. less frequent and shallower chest compressions over the 5-minute study period; 2. higher rating of perceived level of exertion; and 3. higher serum lactate levels in a subset of participants when compared to the old 15:2 CPR ratio.
RATIONALE: Methylphenidate may help relieve fatigue caused by cancer. It is not yet known whether methylphenidate is more effective than a placebo in relieving fatigue and improving quality of life in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying methylphenidate to see how well it works in treating patients with fatigue caused by cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of duloxetine compared with placebo for reducing fatigue in patients diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
RATIONALE: Studying cognitive function, such as thinking, attention, concentration, and memory, in postmenopausal women receiving hormone therapy for breast cancer may help improve quality of life and the ability to plan treatment for cancer. PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying cognitive function in postmenopausal women with breast cancer receiving hormone therapy on clinical trial IBCSG-1-98.
The purpose of this study is to investigate fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to determine the correlation between the symptom and cerebral changes.
RATIONALE: Yoga may improve symptoms and quality of life and reduce stress in patients with ovarian cancer or breast cancer and may help them live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well yoga works in controlling symptoms and reducing stress in women with ovarian cancer or breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Learning about thyroid dysfunction in patients with breast cancer may help plan treatment and may help patients live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how often thyroid dysfunction happens in women with newly diagnosed stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer who are planning to undergo chemotherapy compared to how often it happens in healthy volunteers.
