Summary

This study tests a 4-week art-based program that combines relaxation exercises with creative activities like emotion-color mapping and gratitude mandalas. The goal is to see if it reduces anxiety, improves emotion regulation, and lessens symptom burden in 60 adolescents aged 10-18 who are undergoing cancer treatment. Participants are randomly assigned to either the program or standard care, and their progress is measured with questionnaires.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Art-Based Emotion Regulation Program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to help teens with cancer feel less anxious and manage their symptoms better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. The program may not reduce anxiety or symptoms more than standard care, and results may not apply to all teens with cancer.
