简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate therapeutic effect of Qigong for muscle strength and quality of life in colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
详细描述
Muscle weakness and fatigue are prevalent side effects experienced by patients undergoing chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. These symptoms can significantly impact daily functioning and overall quality of life. Finding effective treatments for this condition is crucial to improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
Qigong serves as a holistic exercise modality that not only strengthens muscles but also elevates the overall quality of life. Its gentle movements make it accessible to a wide range of individuals, including those undergoing rehabilitation or managing chronic health issues.
Furthermore the need of this study is developed from lack in the quantitative knowledge and information in the published studies about the effect of Qigong on muscle strength and quality of life in colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
