NCT ID NCT07745023
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether mind-body practices like breathwork, meditation, and gentle yoga can improve quality of life, stress, and sleep in people who have recently finished cancer treatment. Participants will practice these techniques weekly for six weeks while wearing an activity tracker. The goal is to see if these simple practices help survivors feel better physically and emotionally.
