Painting away fatigue: art therapy trial for blood cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07551817
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether doing art activities (like drawing or painting) can reduce fatigue, anxiety, and improve quality of life in adults with blood cancers. Fifty-two patients will be split into two groups: one gets six art sessions over two weeks, the other gets standard care. Researchers will measure changes using questionnaires about fatigue, anxiety, depression, and how present the nurse feels.
