New treatment option for Breast Cancer Survivor
Official title Self-Determination Theory-informed Occupational Therapy Program to Increase Physical Activity Among Survivors of Breast Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06671730
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- We will evaluate a novel 8-week telehealth-delivered occupational therapy (OT) program among breast cancer survivors that seeks to promote engagement in aerobic physical activity (PA) and muscle strengthening exercise (MSE). The telehealth-based delivery of this OT program circumvents some barriers to OT access and participation (e.g., time burden; distance to OT clinic) among breast cancer survivors- particularly important for Oklahoma given that 33% of residents live in rural areas.
