Mind-Body therapies tested to calm anxiety in childhood cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07380672
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding hypnosis or relaxation sessions to standard psychological care can lower anxiety in children, teens, and young adults who have finished treatment for pediatric cancer. About 558 participants aged 7 to 25 who are in remission and have anxiety will be split into two groups: one gets standard care alone, the other adds mind-body therapies. The goal is to see if these complementary approaches improve emotional well-being beyond standard support.
