Zap to fight fatigue: VA tests muscle stimulation for cancer patients
NCT ID NCT04364256
Summary
This study tested whether a gentle electrical stimulation therapy could help patients maintain their physical strength and reduce fatigue during a stem cell transplant for blood cancers. Researchers compared the stimulation therapy to a sham (fake) treatment in 46 Veterans undergoing this intensive cancer treatment. The goal was to see if this non-exercise approach could help patients feel better and recover faster by preserving muscle and function.
