Official Title: Quality of Life Interventions During Cervical Cancer Treatment
Study ID: NCT04905576
Brief Summary: The proposed project will examine the effects of a healing touch intervention in women receiving chemotherapy and radiation for advanced cervical cancer.
Detailed Description: Patients receiving chemoradiation for cervical cancer are at risk for distress, chemoradiation-related side effects, and immunosuppression. This prospective randomized clinical trial proposes to examine the effects of a complementary therapy, Healing Touch (HT), versus relaxation training (RT) and usual care (UC) for (1) supporting cellular immunity, (2) improving mood and quality of life (QOL), and (3) reducing treatment-associated toxicities and treatment delay in cervical cancer patients receiving chemoradiation.
