SBU-RESET: RElaxation, Stress Reduction and Epigenetics Trial in Cancer Survivors
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cancer Survivors, Cancer Survivorship
In brief
Cancer survivors can experience health issues that cause chronic illness and lower quality of life. Yoga is a well-known holistic approach to health and overall well-being. Mindfulness has many benefits, including improved focus and less stress. This study aims to evaluate if yoga and/or mindfulness has a positive effect on cancer survivors social, emotional and physical well-being as well as their epigenetics. Epigenetics is how the environment can effect your genes; not by changing our DNA, but by turning genes on or off.
