About
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle Relaxation techniques are effective in the management of pain, fatigue, nausea-vomit, anxiety and depression in patients with either prostate or breast cancer.
This study includes a total of 200 patients with prostate and breast cancer randomly assigned to either a control or intervention group.
The intervention group received in total 4 sessions of Guided Imagery (protocol floating on a cloud) and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (breathing exercises and use of 11 groups of muscle progressively tensing and relaxing).
Measurements included the assessment of pain, fatigue, nausea-vomit, depression, anxiety and quality of life. Additionally, saliva samples were collected prior and after the sessions as to assess saliva cortisol and saliva α-amylase.
The same measurements were received by the patients of the control group as to allow comparisons.
