New study trains therapists to tackle Cancer's hidden toll: anxiety, pain, and insomnia

This study aims to train psychotherapists to deliver personalized, evidence-based therapies to cancer patients and their caregivers who are experiencing high levels of distress. Therapists will choose from treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction based on each person's needs. About 75 patients, 25 caregivers, and 15 therapists will take part over 26 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable and helpful for managing emotional and physical symptoms.
