Simple squeeze: can a stress ball ease the fear of chemo?

NCT ID NCT07383935

Summary

This study is testing if using a stress ball during chemotherapy can help patients with stomach or intestinal cancers feel less anxious and fearful. Sixty patients will be randomly assigned to either squeeze a stress ball for 15 minutes during their treatment or receive their usual care. Researchers will measure anxiety, fear, and vital signs like heart rate before and after chemo to see if the stress ball makes a difference.
