NCT ID NCT07061236
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether teaching cancer patients about their portable chemotherapy pump (elastomeric pump) can make them feel more comfortable and less anxious. 70 adults receiving 5-FU treatment were split into two groups: one got extra education and a booklet, the other got standard care. After one month, the researchers measured changes in anxiety and comfort levels to see if the extra teaching helped.
