Summary

This study tests a digital mind-body therapy that uses music and biofeedback to help women with advanced breast cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if it can reduce sleep problems, anxiety, and depression. Sixty-six participants will be randomly assigned to receive the therapy or standard care, and their symptoms will be tracked over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Digital Mind-Body Therapy (DMBT) using digital music and biofeedback

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to help breast cancer patients sleep better and feel less anxious or depressed during chemotherapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is behavioral, so benefits may be modest and depend on patient engagement.
