First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether structured hypnotherapy sessions can improve quality of life for women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Participants in the intervention group receive 10 hypnotherapy sessions alongside standard care, while the control group receives standard care alone. Researchers will measure quality of life, side effects, anxiety, depression, and immune function. The goal is to see if adding hypnotherapy helps patients cope better during treatment.
