Simple Sitting Baduanjin mind-body exercise: randomized controlled trial protocol for advanced cancer patients with the fatigue-sleep disturbance symptom cluster.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advanced cancer patients commonly suffer from a fatigue-sleep disturbance symptom cluster. Baduanjin is considered a promising mind-body exercise for relieving the fatigue-sleep disturbance symptom cluster. However, few studies have investigated a tailored Baduanjin for advanced cancer patients. The proposed study will create an optimized Baduanjin exercise program to adapt to advanced cancer patients and evaluate the effect of a Simple Sitting Baduanjin (SSBDJ) mind-body exercise on the fatigue-sleep disturbance symptom cluster among advanced cancer patients.

Methods

The study will be a prospective, assessor-blinded, two-arm, randomized controlled trial, involving a 12-week intervention and 4-week follow-up. A total of 108 advanced cancer patients experiencing th
