Sponsor: Gözde Gür
Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of a yoga program on improving the quality of life, reducing joint pain, and alleviating vasomotor symptoms (night sweats, hot flashes) in women with breast cancer undergoing endocrine therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the yoga program significantly improve the quality of life in women with breast cancer undergoing endocrine therapy? Is the yoga program effective in reducing joint pain in women with breast cancer? Does the yoga program reduce the severity of night sweats and hot flashes in women with breast cancer? Researchers will compare the intervention group, which will receive the yoga program, to the control group, which will continue with their physician-recommended routine exercise, to see if there is a difference in these outcomes. Participants will: Participants will consist of women with breast cancer undergoing endocrine therapy, with 64 in the yoga (intervention) group and 64 in the control group. Complete the;Patient Assessment Form; and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Endocrine Symptoms (FACT-ES) scale. The intervention group will participate in a 60-minute yoga program, delivered online via a digital platform, four days a week for four weeks, led by an instructor. The control group will not receive any intervention and will continue with their physician-recommended routine exercise.
