Tai Chi-like exercise for better sleep in breast cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle exercise method (Shangshou Daoyin) to see if it helps breast cancer patients with insomnia sleep better, feel better, and improve their health. If you have trouble sleeping after cancer treatment, this might be worth exploring.
