NCT ID NCT06879522
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program called Maximizing Energy to help women who finished breast cancer treatment manage their fatigue. Fifteen women took part, either in the program or a general health education group, over six online sessions. Researchers checked if women stayed in the study, followed the program, and felt less tired. The goal was to see if the program is practical and helps reduce fatigue.
