What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Virtual mind-body group exercise classesOther

    Pre-operative period (baseline/intake day to day before surgery): mid- to high intensity classes focusing on aerobic physical activity, relaxation, and stress management (classes: Fitness for Everyone, Tai Chi, Mat Yoga, Dance Cardio, Meditation, Core Strength, Music Therapy)

    • Immediate post-operative period (post-operative hospitalization to 2 weeks after surgery): low- to mid-intensity classes focusing on relaxation, stress management and low-impact physical activity (classes: Chair Yoga, Dance Therapy, Meditation, Music Therapy)
    • Late post-operative period (3-12 weeks after surgery): mid- to high-intensity classes focusing on aerobic physical activity, relaxation, and stress management (classes: Fitness for Everyone, Tai Chi, Mat Yoga, Dance Cardio, Meditation, Core Strength, Music Therapy)
  • Enhanced usual careOther

    EUC arm will be referred to MSK's multimedia page on the Integrative Medicine website to access pre-recorded mind-body videos on their own time. These videos are 15-60 minutes in duration and consist of educational and self-care videos, including guided meditation and Tai Chi.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Feasibility of the Virtual Mind-Body Exercises program as measured by enrollment rate

    total number of patients invited, and the total number of study participants will be recorded

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. improving patient-reported outcomes (PROs)

    Changes in HADS anxiety scores. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) will be used to explore the effect of treatments on psychological distress, specifically on anxiety. HADS is a 14-item scale with seven items measuring depression and seven items measuring anxiety. Each item is answered by the patient on a four-point (0-3) response category; possible scores range from 0-21 for anxiety and depression, with higher scores indicating higher symptomatology. Established cutoffs are: 0-7 not significant; 8-10 subclinical; and 11-21 clinically significant depression/anxiety.

    Measured: 1 year

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of the Virtual Mind-Body Exercises program as measured by enrollment rate (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Nov 2024.
