NCT ID NCT03429907

Summary

This study is testing whether a short, daily mind-body exercise program delivered through a phone app can help reduce stress and physical symptoms for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. About 62 participants were randomly assigned to either use the app for 14 days before starting chemotherapy or to receive standard care. Researchers are measuring stress, mood, and body chemistry to see if the early intervention makes treatment easier.
