Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The aim of this study is to test a complementary therapy intervention (reflexology) that will assist in improving quality of life (QOL) for women undergoing chemotherapy for late stage (III or IV) breast cancer within the context of conventional medical care. Quality of life will be assessed via intermediate indicators: 1) physical indicators (greater physical functioning, lower presence of symptoms) 2) emotional indicators (greater spirituality, lower anxiety, and lower depressive symptomology); and the outcome indicator of quality of life.
