Cognitive Behavioral Effects on Sleep, Pain, and Cytokines in Gynecologic Cancer
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychoeducation for Genital Neoplasms, Female and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Gynecologic cancers cause substantial morbidity and mortality among women. Developing, implementing, and disseminating interventions that reduce morbidity and mortality secondary to gynecologic cancers are a public health priority. In spite of this, there is a paucity of research examining the effects of psychosocial interventions on patient-centered and physiological outcomes in this population. To the extent that psychological factors may influence quality of life and tumor biology among women with gynecologic cancers, psychological interventions may represent an important adjunct to standard clinical care in this population. As such, this study will examine the effects of a psychosocial intervention on sleep, pain, mood, cortisol, and cytokines in women with gynecologic cancers.
