Pampering during chemo: a new way to fight anxiety?
NCT ID NCT05649852
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether socio-aesthetic care (like skincare and makeup sessions) can lower anxiety in cancer patients who are starting chemotherapy. About 192 people who have never had chemo before will take part. Researchers will measure their anxiety levels before treatment and after the third chemo cycle to see if the beauty sessions help them feel calmer.
