Sponsor: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Project HERO is a 12-week study of the efficacy of Body Mind Training (BMT, i.e. Tai Chi and Qigong in this project) for reducing fatigue in male cancer survivors. This 3-arm randomized clinical trial will examine inflammatory biology and selected gene-expression pathways that are hypothesized to contribute to the intervention's effect.

Official title: Biobehavioral Effects of Tai Chi Qigong (TCQ) for Male Cancer Survivors With Fatigue (HERO)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Body Mind Training (BMT)

Participants will practice BMT under the instruction of a BMT instructor. There will be 24 sessions. Each session will last 60 minutes and will occur twice a week for 12 weeks. Each session will include both light physical exercise and mind training. Sessions will be supplemented with home-based practice using an instructional DVD and handouts. Participants will be instructed to practice at least 30 minutes a day (at least 3 days per week) throughout the intervention and post-intervention period.

BEHAVIORAL

Body Training (BT):

Participants will practice BT under the instruction of a BT instructor. There will be 24 sessions. Each session will last 60 minutes and will occur twice a week for 12 weeks. Sessions will be supplemented with home-based practice using an instructional DVD and handouts. Participants will be instructed to practice at least 30 minutes a day (at least 3 days per week) throughout the intervention and post-intervention period.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual Care (UC)

Participants in the usual care arm will receive care as normal and will not attend classes but will complete the same assessments as participants in the BMT and BT classes.
