Fatigue Intervention Trial for Breast Cancer Survivors

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Fatigue

In brief

Thirty to forty percent of breast cancer survivors suffer from persistent fatigue lingering months to years after adjuvant therapy is completed. Although researchers have developed some effective interventions (exercise or group-based holistic program) to treat fatigue, none have addressed the role of the family in the patient's long-term recovery. The investigators hypothesize that a family-focused intervention in combination with a mind-body group intervention will be more effective in reducing fatigue, improving quality of life, and enhancing family relationships for breast cancer survivors than a group intervention with an individual focus.
