This research project is being done to design and then test whether a 10 week program can help reduce the symptoms of being tired and fatigued among women who have had breast cancer. The pilot study will include 4 groups of women, two groups of women from Baltimore and two groups of women from Washington County, Maryland. Each group will have 5 to 6 women. The purpose of this pilot study is to help us find the best things to include in the program to help women who have had breast cancer and who have severe problems with fatigue that has lasted months to years after being treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Following the pilot program we will conduct and evaluate (using a quasi-experimental design comparing fatigue scores before and after the intervention) the efficacy of the refined 10-week integrated mind/body medicine approach to reduce symptoms of fatigue among breast cancer survivors who have completed their adjuvant therapy. Four intervention groups (~12 women per group) will be conducted: two in the urban setting and two in the rural setting. We will assess fatigue symptoms at baseline, immediately after the program, 2 months and 6 months following completion of the program. We will compare mean baseline scores to post-intervention scores. The ultimate goal is to develop a non-pharmacologic, holistic, low risk intervention for improving symptoms of fatigue and thus improving quality of life among breast cancer survivors
RATIONALE: Studying quality of life in cancer survivors may help determine the long-term effects of breast cancer and may help improve the quality of life for future cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the quality of life in African-American or Caucasian female breast cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to examine the degree of fatigue in patients receiving chemotherapy. Special interest goes out to the course of fatigue throughout five treatments and the actions taken by patients to reduce this fatigue.The correlation between fatigue and haemoglobin will also be subject of study.
RATIONALE: Epoetin alfa may cause the body to make more red blood cells. It is used to treat anemia caused by cancer and chemotherapy. It may also help relieve fatigue in patients with anemia. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well epoetin alfa works in treating patients with anemia who are undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.
RATIONALE: Acupuncture may help relieve hot flashes in patients with prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well acupuncture works in treating hot flashes in patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing androgen deprivation.
Randomized clinical trial of modafinil vs. placebo for treatment of fatigue after TBI.
This is an open label study of Ampligen in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.
multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of the safety and efficacy.
This study examined the experiences of individuals undergoing acupuncture to gather information on patient-provider communication and on the therapeutic effects of acupuncture.
