NCT ID NCT07326800
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called MAEva, which combines mindfulness and acceptance therapy, to see if it helps improve quality of life for people treated for non-metastatic breast cancer. About 190 participants will be randomly assigned to either the MAEva program or a discussion group for nine weeks. Researchers will measure changes in quality of life, stress, anxiety, and depression before, during, and after the program.
