Cardiac coherence training to reduce anxiety before abdominal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether “cardiac coherence” breathing/relaxation practice can lower anxiety in people with peritoneal cancer who are scheduled for a major surgery. It may help by calming stress before and around the operation.
