Ancient herb tested as weapon against cancer fatigue
NCT ID NCT01375114
Summary
This study is testing whether the herbal supplement ginseng can help reduce fatigue and improve other symptoms like mood, depression, and anxiety in people with advanced cancer. About 165 participants with cancer and significant daily fatigue will take either ginseng capsules or a placebo (inactive pill) for 29 days, with some continuing for up to 57 days. Researchers will use questionnaires and physical tests to measure changes in fatigue levels, energy, and overall well-being.
