Reduce HEAT: A Randomized Trial of Wearable Thermal Devices for ADT-Induced Hot Flashes
Sponsor: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Summary
This is a prospective, randomized, non-pharmacologic interventional trial evaluating the effectiveness of the Embr Wave wearable thermal device in reducing hot flash burden in men with prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Participants will be randomized 1:1 to immediate (12 weeks) versus delayed (after 6 weeks) use of the Embr Wave device. The study aims to determine whether the device reduces vasomotor symptoms using a number of patient-reported outcomes
