Couple meditation program for metastatic lung cancer and partners
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a couple-based meditation program can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their romantic partners cope better during treatment. It looks at the experience of both the patient and their partner, not just the patient alone.
