NCT ID NCT07659158
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a virtual group program designed to help people with advanced cancer build resilience and manage stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Participants attend seven weekly online sessions that teach techniques like mindfulness, gratitude, and reframing difficult experiences. The program also includes online modules and surveys to track changes in mood and quality of life. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helpful for patients with advanced cancer.
