Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate the effects of human-animal interaction on reducing anxiety, depression, worry, and pain and enhancing quality of life in children ages 8-17 years old with a life threatening cancer and their parent caregivers.


Clinical Trial Description

Objectives: - To examine the feasibility of human-animal interaction (HAI) sessions for children with a life threatening cancer and a primary caregiver, specifically to: - To identify and document necessary modifications for a safe and feasible intervention - To obtain recruitment estimates and determine potential recruitment barriers - To evaluate elements of implementation fidelity (design, training, delivery/receipt of treatment, enactment) - To verify safety - To determine the preliminary efficacy of human-animal interaction sessions: - On children with a life threatening cancer for the outcomes of qualify of life, anxiety, depression, worry, and pain - On caregivers of children with a life threatening cancer for the outcomes of stress and anxiety Exploratory Objective: - To explore mechanisms (reduced salivary cortisol and urinary norepinephrine levels) associated with 8 weeks of human-animal interaction. ;
