Filter by:The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of a nurse-directed, home-based walking exercise program to mitigate fatigue and maintain physical functioning during adjuvant therapy for cancer. The sample will be randomized into exercise (EX) or usual care (UC) groups. The independent study variable is participation in a walking exercise program. Outcomes include: fatigue, sleep disturbance, emotional distress, physical functioning and quality of life. The effects of the walking exercise program will be evaluated using self-report questionnaires administered pre- and post-treatment, patient diaries, and symptoms assessments at defined intervals during adjuvant therapy
This clinical trial studies yoga-based rehabilitation in reducing physical and emotional side effects of living with cancer or its treatment. Yoga-based rehabilitation may reduce side effects and improve the quality of life of patients with breast, lung, or colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of modafinil with regard to reducing cancer-related fatigue in cancer patients following chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Secondarily, the effect of modafinil on cognitive dysfunction in the same population will be assessed. The researchers hypothesize that administering modafinil (PROVIGIL®) to patients experiencing fatigue following completion of cancer treatment will lead to reduction in patient fatigue and prevention of or improvement in patient cognitive dysfunction.
The purpose of this study is to identify specific chemotherapy-related changes in sleep stages/architecture that may relate to an increase in fatigue in individuals with cancer. The researchers hypothesize that the fatigue experienced by cancer patients receiving chemotherapy is in part due to changes in restorative sleeping during the non-rapid eye movement cycles of sleep (i.e., delta activity).

Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of prostate cancer. Fatigue is a lack of energy that makes it harder to do the things you normally do every day. Some symptoms of fatigue are: - feeling tired and/or weak; - having less interest in activities; - having trouble concentrating; - feeling "down"; - feeling exhausted for no clear reason. There are not many drugs that are helpful in treating fatigue. However, one group of medications does seem to be useful. In this study, we, the investigators at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, will be using a psychostimulant called Ritalin. The aim of this study is to see if this drug is helpful in treating fatigue in prostate cancer. We are also studying the side effects of this medication.
This study will determine whether modafinil (Provigil®), a medication approved for the treatment of narcolepsy, is effective in reducing fatigue in adults with HIV/AIDS.
