Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the present 3-month randomized, placebo-controlled trial was to evaluate whether adherence to Mediterranean Diet (MD) together with melatonin oral treatment or plaebo, would ameliorate Cancer Related Fatigue in Breast Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy treatment.


Clinical Trial Description

Cancer related fatigue (CRF) is a common distressing complaint in breast cancer (BC) patients treated with chemotherapy. Nutrition quality plays a pivotal role in CRF, while an increased interest towards new pharmacological agents has been observed. Melatonin, an endogenous hormone that regulates the human sleep-wake cycle, could alleviate CRF. In the present randomized, placebo-controlled 3-month trial, we investigated the effects of melatonin intake (i.e., 1 mg/day) vs. placebo on CRF of BC patients. Melatonin and placebo tablets were of similar physical and sensory properties. In both arms, Mediterranean diet (MD) was implemented. Medical history, anthropometry and blood withdrawal were performed. CRF was evaluated by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue questionnaire and MD adherence by the MedDiet Score. ;
