Stress reduction program for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a stress-reducing program for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if lowering stress can help with treatment outcomes and quality of life.

This study tests whether a structured mindfulness and high-intensity exercise program before radical bladder surgery can help patients improve health and recovery. You may be asked to use monitoring devices and complete questionnaires during the study.
This trial tests a new online adaptive radiotherapy technique for bladder cancer that adjusts the radiation plan daily based on changes in the bladder. It aims to improve treatment accuracy and reduce side effects.
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program before surgery can help improve physical function in people with bladder or upper tract urothelial cancer. If you are planning to have surgery to remove your bladder or upper urinary tract, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a combination of a targeted drug (HDAC inhibitor, given directly into the bladder) and an immunotherapy (Durvalumab, given through a vein) before bladder removal surgery. It's for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot take the chemo drug cisplatin.
This study tests a stress-reducing program for people with breast or colon cancer. It uses a technique called heart rate variability biofeedback to help you manage stress during treatment.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality program to teach relaxation techniques can help reduce stress and anxiety in cancer patients receiving cellular therapy (a type of cancer treatment). You'd use a VR headset while in the hospital to practice guided muscle relaxation exercises.
