Laughter and mindfulness practices for breast cancer patients during chemotherapy

This study is testing two supportive practices—laughter yoga and mindfulness-based stress reduction—to see if they can help women with breast cancer feel less anxious and depressed while undergoing chemotherapy. These practices are offered alongside your regular cancer treatment, not instead of it. The goal is to improve your emotional well-being and quality of life during this challenging time.

Chemotherapy can cause serious emotional and physical side effects, including anxiety, depression, and a lower quality of life. Researchers want to know whether these gentle, evidence-based practices might help ease some of that burden and support your overall well-being during treatment.
