First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a stress ball during chemotherapy can help lower anxiety, fear, and keep heart rate and blood pressure stable in people with gastrointestinal cancers. Sixty patients will be randomly assigned to either squeeze a stress ball for 15 minutes during treatment or receive usual care. Researchers will measure anxiety, fear, and vital signs before and after chemo to see if this simple, drug-free method makes a difference.
