Dance-Based Avenues to Advance Nonpharmacologic Treatment of Chemotherapy Effects (DAANCE)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation and Evidence-Based Exercise for Cancer, Breast and Neuropathy. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Group dance classes have been found to improve markers of quality of life and physical health (i.e., balance) among some populations engaged in rehabilitation, such as the elderly and individuals with Parkinson Disease. However, such interventions have yet to be studied among cancer survivors despite the relevance of quality of life and physical health within cancer survivorship. Group dance classes are a promising avenue in that they deliver activity-based medicine in a social context, thus potentially improving physical as well as psychosocial aspects of health. To further this avenue of inquiry, we propose to study the effect of dance-based interventions for cancer survivors.
