This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether hypnotherapy—a structured relaxation and guided imagery technique—can help women with breast cancer feel better during chemotherapy. The study will measure whether this treatment reduces side effects like nausea, lowers anxiety and depression, and helps keep patients on their full chemotherapy schedule.
Chemotherapy can cause difficult side effects and emotional distress that sometimes lead patients to delay or reduce their treatment doses, which makes chemotherapy less effective. Early research suggests this medication may help patients feel more in control and manage symptoms better, but doctors need to confirm whether it also protects the immune system during active cancer treatment.
If you join the study, you will either receive standard supportive care or standard care plus 10 hypnotherapy sessions scheduled every two weeks during your chemotherapy. The hypnotherapy sessions teach you relaxation techniques, imagery, and ways to regain a sense of control over your body and mind. The study will track your quality of life, side effects, mood, and immune markers from the start through the end of your chemotherapy.
