Efficacy of aerobic and resistance exercises on cancer pain: A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate effects of aerobic and resistance exercises for cancer-related pain in adults with and surviving cancer. Secondary objectives were to a) evaluate the effect of exercise on fatigue, psychological function, physical function, b) assess fidelity to exercise.

Design

A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED, CINAHL and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was conducted to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing aerobic and/or resistance exercise to control groups. The primary endpoint were changes in cancer-related pain intensity from baseline to post intervention. Meta-regression analysis evaluated predictors for heterogeneity between study findings. Tolerability was defined as reporting of exercise-induced adverse events while fi
