NCT ID NCT07251348
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether teaching progressive muscle relaxation and providing psychoeducation can lower stress and increase hope in adults with blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma. About 75 participants will learn these techniques and report their stress and hope levels. The goal is to see if these simple, non-drug methods can improve emotional well-being during cancer treatment.
