Study Details

This clinical trial studies how well mind-body interventions work in improving quality of life (QOL), stress, and sleep quality among survivors of breast, prostate, endometrial, or colorectal cancer. For many cancer survivors, the experience of cancer extends well beyond the completion of therapy. Common long-term effects include fatigue, cognitive impairment, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and diminished physical function, all of which contribute to reduced QOL and overall health. Yoga, a mind-body intervention, utilizes breathwork, meditation, and gentle movement to help reduce activity in the body's nervous system. Breathwork and meditation have been shown to improve heart rate variability (a measure of the body's ability to adapt to stress). Movement-based practices may offer added benefit by supporting coordination and physical resiliency, aspects that are often reduced after cancer treatment and can lead to decreased QOL. This trial may help researchers determine whether a mind-body intervention that includes breathwork and meditation, as well as an intervention that includes breathwork and meditation plus gentle movement can work to improve QOL, stress, and sleep quality among survivors of breast, prostate, endometrial, or colorectal cancer.
