ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING

Open Trial of Biofeedback for Respiratory Symptoms

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

Biofeedback is a therapeutic paradigm that teaches patients how to gain awareness and control over previously unrecognized sympathetic changes such as body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. We propose to use a six session biofeedback protocol that includes heart-rate variability (HRV) biofeedback, respiration/relaxation training, and body temperature control to treat patients with unaddressed respiratory symptoms (e.g. shortness of breath) who are under the care of pulmonologists and have not responded to traditional biomedical approaches (e.g. inhalers, pulmonary rehab, etc.).
