简要总结
This pilot clinical trial studies interactive gentle yoga in improving quality of life in patients with stage I-III breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Interactive gentle yoga may improve the quality of life in patients with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the feasibility of implementing a 6-week biweekly yoga intervention delivered by multi-point videoconferencing in breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To obtain preliminary data on changes in depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleep quality pre- and post-intervention in women with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy.
II. To obtain preliminary data on acute effects of the yoga classes on fatigue and distress.

研究组 & 干预措施
Supportive care (internet-based integral yoga intervention)
Participants undergo 12 sessions of cancer-adapted integral yoga classes using an internet-based videoconferencing platform. Integral yoga includes postures, deep relaxation, breathing practices and meditation to create a profound experience of peace and well-being. Participants take part in study classes from home (or other location that is convenient for the participant and that allows them to access the internet-based classes) with two-way interaction with group instructors and members alike over 75 minutes twice weekly for 6 weeks during radiation therapy. Participants are encouraged to complete additional yoga practice sessions outside of the twice weekly study sessions.
