Could a comfort cart make cancer treatment easier for seniors?
NCT ID NCT07671586
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a comfort menu and cart for older adults (60+) receiving cancer treatment at a hospital in Brazil. The cart offers items like blankets, pillows, and hygiene kits to improve comfort. Researchers will compare patient and staff experiences before and after the cart is introduced, aiming to see if this low-cost approach can ease symptoms and improve care.

Active substance
comfort menu and cart (non-pharmacological intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to make cancer treatment more comfortable for older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with no control group, so results may not apply widely. The intervention is not a treatment for cancer itself.
