Impact of Cooling Mats on Vasomotor Symptoms in Patients Receiving Endocrine Therapy
Sponsor: Sligo General Hospital
Summary
This research study will investigate whether using a non-drug option, like a cooling mat, made of temperature-regulating materials, can help relieve the discomfort of hot flushes and/or night sweats for people receiving hormone treatment following a cancer diagnosis. Cooling mats are made from specialised material designed to keep body temperature in a comfortable range by reducing heat. Previous research has shown these materials can be helpful for managing hot flushes during menopause, and the investigators are investigating if the same benefits apply to cancer patients.
