Study:
Biofeedback Training in Patients With Advanced Lung Cancer - A Pilot Study
Rationale:
n/a
Purpose:
This is a pilot study to test the hypothesis that biofeedback-mediated stress management
(BFSM) training can be used to reduce distress and enhance quality of life in patients with
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Most patients with advanced NSCLC have significant
physical symptoms, but even those who do not have physical symptoms have high levels of
anxiety and depression.
