Gentle exercise and phone coaching aim to ease fatigue in older myeloma patients
NCT ID NCT06145581
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a home-based mindfulness exercise program, combined with health coaching over the phone, can reduce fatigue and improve quality of life in people aged 65 and older with multiple myeloma. Participants will do gentle physical activities at home while being monitored remotely and receiving coaching calls. The goal is to see if this approach helps manage the high symptom burden common in older myeloma patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- home-based mindfulness physical activity program with telephone health coaching
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical, non-drug way to reduce fatigue and improve daily life for older adults with multiple myeloma.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study (25 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires motivation and may not help everyone.
