Ancient chinese practices tested for cancer survivor symptoms

This pilot study tested whether self-acupressure (pressing specific points on the body) or Zhan Zhuang (a gentle standing meditation) can reduce pain, fatigue, and sleep problems in breast cancer survivors. Fifty women who had finished early-stage breast cancer treatment and still had moderate symptoms took part. They were split into three groups: Zhan Zhuang practice, self-acupressure, or a waitlist. The study measured symptoms after 8 weeks of practice and again 4 weeks later.
