Integrative Medicine for the Improvement of Patient-Reported Outcomes, Values, and Experience

Trial Status: active

This clinical trial assesses how integrative medicine at home (IM@Home) improves patient perceived values, outcomes, and experiences as they undergo cancer treatment for head and neck cancer, lung cancer, gynecological cancer, melanoma, or breast cancer. The IM@Home program offers virtual (online rather than in-person) group classes focusing on mind-body practice. Mind-body practice is a health practice that combines mental focus, controlled breathing, and body movements to help relax the body and mind. The IM@Home classes range from movement-based therapies (fitness, yoga, dance therapy, or tai chi) to meditative therapies (meditation, guided meditation, or music therapy). IM@Home may help to reduce patients’ symptoms (such as tiredness, pain, or insomnia) and improve their satisfaction with treatment for their disease.
