Summary

This study tests whether a relaxation breathing exercise can help reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in people with blood cancers. Sixty-eight patients are split into two groups: one does breathing exercises three times a day plus standard care, the other gets standard care alone. Researchers track symptoms for six days after chemo to see if the breathing technique makes a difference.
