Mindfulness meets movement: could an eHealth combo ease cancer Treatment's toughest side effects?
NCT ID NCT07735273
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests an 8-week eHealth program called eMindExCare that combines mindfulness practices with home-based aerobic and resistance exercises for prostate cancer patients undergoing active treatment. The study aims to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and whether it can improve sleep quality, fatigue, pain, and physical activity. Participants are randomly assigned to either eMindExCare or a health education control group, with outcomes measured right after the program and three months later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an integrated mindfulness and exercise eHealth program called eMindExCare
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical, home-based way to help prostate cancer patients manage sleep problems, fatigue, and low activity during treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility trial, so it may not show clear benefits. The program requires internet access and motivation, which may not suit everyone.
