Talking therapy for fatigue in advanced cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether cognitive behavioral therapy, a type of talking therapy, can help reduce severe fatigue in people with advanced solid tumors or gliomas who are receiving or have completed palliative treatment. The goal is to see if this approach improves energy levels and quality of life.
