Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

With developing treatment methods, oncological rehabilitation has become an important complementary part of cancer treatment. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of tele-rehabilitation has gained importance in terms of access to physical therapy in individuals with breast cancer. Considering the home environment and the patient profile, it is thought that relaxation exercises can be used in the most comfortable and safe way for patients to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and can be used as home exercises whose effectiveness has been reported in the literature. The purpose of our study; to examine the effects of relaxation exercises performed by tele-rehabilitation on functional capacity, fatigue, emotional state, quality of life, cognitive status, sleep quality and kinesiophobia in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. A total of 64 patients, will randomly be allocated to the exercise group (n = 32) and to the control group (n = 32). Participants will be evaluated at first appoinment and after 6 weeks of intervention. 'Brief Pain Questionnaire' for assessment of pain as assessment methods, 'Fatigue Impact Scale' for fatigue assessment, 'Hospital Anxiety-Depression Scale' for emotional state, 'EORTC QLQ-C30 Quality of Life Scale' for quality of life assessment, 'The FACT-Cog questionnaire' for cognitive state assessment, the' Pitsburg Sleep Quality Scale 'for the measurement of sleep quality, and the' Tampa Kinesophobia Scale 'for the assessment of kinesiophobia will be used.

Hormone therapy is used to treat women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and aromatase inhibitor (AI) is administered after menopause. AI therapy has been proven to be effective in improving the disease-free survival rate, decreasing the recurrence rates and a lower incidence of contralateral breast cancer. However, arthralgia frequently reported as an important adverse event of AI therapy and sometimes resulted in noncompliance with AI therapy. The prevalence of AI induced arthralgia rates ranged from 20 to 74%. Inadequately managed AI induced arthralgia remains a major unmet need in oncology practice in breast cancer survivors. The goal of this project is to conduct a crossover designed pragmatic clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture versus NSAID (Diclofenac) for the management of aromatase inhibitor induced arthralgia. The third group was set to use non-steroidal analgesics plus acupuncture to evaluate the effectiveness of joint pain.

The aim of this study was to develop electronic systems (e-systems) for oncofertility support, and to examine the comprehensibility, feasibility, usability, and effects on social support and preparation for decision-making.

This clinical trial implements a communication intervention to improve patient-oncologist communication in the outpatient medical oncology setting. A communication brochure called the ASQ brochure may help patients prepare for the doctor visit by thinking through the questions that patients and patients' family want to ask the doctor.

The aim of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of the mobile lymphedema self-care support program on self-care, quality of life and symptoms related to lymphedema in women with breast cancer-related lymphedema. H1: There is a difference between the Lymphedema Self-Care Scale mean score in women who develop lymphedema due to breast cancer, according to the use of the mobile lymphedema self-care support program. H2: There is a difference between the Lymphedema Quality of Life Scale average score in women who develop lymphedema due to breast cancer according to the status of using the mobile lymphedema self-care support program. H4: There is a difference between lymphedema arm circumference measurements according to the use of the mobile lymphedema self-care support program in women who develop lymphedema due to breast cancer. H5: In women who develop lymphedema due to breast cancer, there is a difference in the situation of experiencing symptoms related to lymphedema according to the use of the mobile lymphedema self-care support program.

The present investigation is a pilot feasibility study that aims to compare a physical exercise intervention in a face-to-face context (considered state of the art) with a physical exercise intervention in a distance context (online), both supervised, in women, of legal age, physically inactive, breast cancer survivors after primary treatment with curative intent. Before and after the intervention these women will have a physical and functional assessment, as well as a pre-trial cardiopulmonary exercise test, to check if there are safety conditions to participate and also to self tailor the exercise prescription. The prescription follows the ACSM´s exercise guidelines for cancer survivors and will comprise a 8 week combined exercise training, 3 times per week, in which two of them will be supervised and the third session of the week (cardio session) won´t. Chat´s and weekly personal messages, as well as education, will be used to promote retention and exercise adherence.

The purpose of this research study is to learn how therapy for breast cancer or DCIS/LCIS affects cognitive function and beliefs about cancer/DCIS/LCIS and diabetes (DM). For this portion of the study, the study team will integrate the information collected at previous follow-ups to create educational modules to change disease and medication beliefs and improve DM self-management behaviors (SMB). The educational counseling modules the study team plans to pilot test are rooted in the Common Sense Self-Regulation Model, a theory that posits that health behaviors are influenced by two parallel processes: cognitive (i.e., disease beliefs and expectations) and affective (i.e., emotional responses).

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of cryotherapy with frozen gloves for the prevention of the chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) of the hand. Frozen glove was provided for dominant hand of breast cancer patients while receiving paclitaxel treat, and as the experimental group. In addition, another hand as a control group. The questionnaire was used before chemotherapy and at the fourth, eighth, twelfth, and sixteenth weeks to understand the effectiveness of frozen gloves.

The goal of this study is to obtain preliminary evidence of the effect of 8 acupuncture treatments over 10 weeks in breast and GI cancer patients who are currently receiving or recently completed active neurotoxic chemotherapy and have clinically documented grade 1 or 2 neuropathy.

This is a three-month open-label, multicenter, interventional, single arm study located in France, designed to assess feasibility and reliability of the e-Health ZEMY software medical device under investigation for use by participants with breast cancer, who are starting an anti-cancer treatment at any stage of the disease, to manage disease symptoms and anti-cancer treatment-related toxicities while at home.
