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 different types of massage therapy can help reduce anxiety during chemotherapy infusions. Researchers want to learn which areas of the body—like your feet and legs, head and neck and shoulders, hands and arms, or a combination of all three—work best for massage, and whether massage during your infusion sessions makes you feel calmer and less anxious.
Many patients feel anxious or scared during chemotherapy, and this anxiety can make the experience harder to get through. This study wants to see if a simple, gentle supportive care approach like massage can help ease that anxiety and improve your overall comfort during treatment.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would receive a 30-minute massage during five of your chemotherapy infusion sessions. Your massages would be randomly assigned to target different areas of your body—feet and legs, head and neck and shoulders, hands and arms, or a combination of these areas—or no massage at all. You would also provide saliva samples at the beginning of the study. Before and after each massage, you would answer quick questions about your anxiety and other symptoms like pain, fatigue, nausea, and mood.
