Detaljeret beskrivelse
Patients receiving chemoradiation for cervical cancer are at risk for distress, chemoradiation-related side effects, and immunosuppression.
This prospective randomized clinical trial proposes to examine the effects of a complementary therapy, Healing Touch (HT), versus relaxation training (RT) and usual care (UC) for (1) supporting cellular immunity, (2) improving mood and quality of life (QOL), and (3) reducing treatment-associated toxicities and treatment delay in cervical cancer patients receiving chemoradiation.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in natural killer cell cytotoxicity (NKCC)
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare change in natural killer cell cytotoxicity of participants receiving HT during radiation and chemotherapy to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care during radiation and chemotherapy treatment collected via blood draw. Fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells tested for cytolytic activity against the NK-sensitive K562 cells and the NK-resistant LAK-sensitive ZKBL cells in a standard 4-h 51Chromium- release assay. |
6 weeks
|
|
Number of chemoradiation-related toxicities
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare number of reported side effects of participants receiving HT during radiation and chemotherapy treatment to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care as measured by the Common Toxicity Criteria Manual Version 2.0
|
6 weeks
|
|
Number of days of treatment delay due to chemoradiation-related toxicities
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare number of days in treatment delay due to chemoradiation-related toxicity for participants receiving HT during radiation and chemotherapy treatment to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care
|
6 weeks
|
|
Change in participant reports of depression
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare changes in depression scores of participants receiving HT to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care during radiation and chemotherapy as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) in which higher scores indicate worse depression (range 0-60)

|
Change in participant reports of anxiety
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare changes in reported anxiety of participants receiving HT during radiation and chemotherapy to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care during radiation and chemotherapy treatment as measured by the Profile of Mood States- Anxiety Subscale (POMS-SF) (range 0-28)
|
6 weeks

|
Change in white blood cell counts
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare change in white blood cell counts of participants receiving HT during radiation and chemotherapy vs. patients receiving relaxation training or usual care during this time hemotherapy to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care during radiation and chemotherapy treatment collected via blood draw. |
6 weeks
|
|
Change in red blood cell counts
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare change in red blood cell counts of participants receiving HT during radiation and chemotherapy to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care during radiation and chemotherapy treatment collected via blood draw.

|
Change in participant reports of quality of life
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare change in reported quality of life of participants receiving HT during radiation and chemotherapy to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care during radiation and chemotherapy treatment as measured by the Functional assessment of Cancer therapies (FACT).
Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
Range= (0-136).

Change in participant reports of fatigue
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare reported fatigue of participants receiving HT during radiation and chemotherapy to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care during radiation and chemotherapy treatment as measured by the Fatigue Severity Inventory (FSI).
Mean fatigue intensity (range 0-10) with higher scores indicating more fatigue, and fatigue duration in days last week experiencing fatigue (0-7 days) with greater number of days indicating greater fatigue duration.

6 weeks
|
|
Change in metabolomic measures
Tidsramme: 6 weeks
|
Compare metabolic profile of participants receiving HT during radiation and chemotherapy treatment to participants receiving relaxation training or usual care.
Samples were assayed using Ultrahigh Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectroscopy (UPLC-MS/MS).
The metabolomic profiling analysis measures the quantity of specific compounds in the plasma vs. a platform of 844 known metabolites in a commercial platform powered by Metabolon, Inc.
For any specific metabolite, higher levels indicates greater presence of the metabolite.
