Simple breathing trick may calm chemo nausea
NCT ID NCT07456982
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a relaxation breathing exercise can help reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in people with blood cancers. Sixty-eight patients are split into two groups: one does breathing exercises three times a day plus standard care, the other gets standard care alone. Researchers track symptoms for six days after chemo to see if the breathing technique makes a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- relaxation breathing exercise
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help manage chemotherapy side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 68 participants, and results are not yet available. The breathing exercise may not provide significant relief beyond standard care.
