Dance your way to better sleep: latin moves tested in cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06844981
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a culturally tailored Latin dance program can help Hispanic cancer survivors sleep better. Researchers will enroll 40 adults who have finished their main cancer treatment but still have trouble sleeping. Participants will either take dance classes or continue their usual care, and the team will measure sleep quality, quality of life, and how acceptable the program is.
