RECRUITING

Joint Health Study

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Natural dietary health supplements that may improve quality of life by relieving joint discomfort have been of increasing interest. Recent studies have demonstrated promising effects of one such supplement - calcium fructoborate (CFB). Preliminary evidence suggests that CFB may reduce joint discomfort, however, few well-powered studies have been conducted to assess the true effects of this supplement. In this study, conducted virtually, we will examine changes in joint discomfort over a 90 day period. Participants will be randomized to receive either 216mg CFB or placebo (i.e., 216mg microcellulose) to take every day for the study period.
