Reduced Pain[ Time Frame: Weekly for 4 to 6 weeks ]
Participants will attend an HRV-B training session once a week for up to 6 weeks. They will complete a questionnaire which includes a symptom cluster assessment related to pain using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI).

Reduced Stress[ Time Frame: Weekly for 4 to 6 weeks ]
Participants will attend an HRV-B training session once a week for up to 6 weeks. They will complete a questionnaire which includes a symptom cluster inventory related to distress using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS).

Reduced Fatigue[ Time Frame: Weekly for 4 to 6 weeks ]
Participants will attend an HRV-B training session once a week for up to 6 weeks. They will complete a questionnaire which includes a symptom cluster inventory related to fatigue using the Multi-Dimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI).

Reduced Depression[ Time Frame: Weekly for 4 to 6 weeks ]
Participants will attend an HRV-B training session once a week for up to 6 weeks. They will complete a questionnaire which includes a symptom cluster inventory related to depression using the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II).

Use of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback for Cancer Survivors
Use of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback for Symptom Management Among Cancer Survivors: Pilot Intervention

Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-B) is a complementary, non-pharmacologic therapy that is being tested to see if it can help cancer survivors reduce their symptoms of pain, stress, insomnia, fatigue, or depression. HRV-B is an interactive procedure in which participants relax and breathe regularly while watching the a computer screen. The computer screen provides feedback that helps people increase their heart rate variability.

Cancer survivors often suffer from prolonged and persistent symptom clusters that can include: pain, stress, depression, fatigue, and insomnia; symptoms that have each been associated with inflammation. The number of cancer survivors in the United States is expected to triple by the year 2030. Thus, there is a compelling need to develop and refine effective methods to promote high quality cancer survivorship. Dysregulation of autonomic function is a key pathophysiological 'common denominator' whereby many cancer-related symptoms likely converge. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a valid, noninvasive measure of autonomic function with established pathological and psychophysiological attributes. Reduced HRV is a known mortality risk factor, and about 80% of advanced cancer patients exhibit autonomic dysregulation. Cancer survivors with reduced HRV have increased mortality risk relative to those with normal HRV. HRV biofeedback (HRV-B) is an interactive procedure whereby patients learn to increase HRV and restore autonomic balance. HRV coherence refers to a state of optimum HRV rhythm that produces physiological entrainment of HRV, respiration, and the baroreflex. With HRV coherence, consecutive inter-beat intervals cycle from maximum to minimum and back to maximum over a period of about 10 seconds, which is associated with increased parasympathetic and decreased sympathetic tone, and a heightened state of well-being including improved affect, cognition, and executive function. Previous research suggests that HRV-B interventions may be useful for reducing symptoms of: chronic pain, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), heart disease, and insomnia. HRV-B thus represents a promising complementary, nonpharmacological therapy that merits examination for relief of chronic pain and related symptoms among cancer survivors.

分配: Randomized
干预模型: Parallel Assignment
干预模型描述: Cancer patients will be recruited from the Cancer Institute at Greenville Health System. Random assignment to the HRV-B or control group will occur after baseline assessment. During the baseline assessment, participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire, including information about symptoms and feelings. Participant heart rate (pulse) and breathing will be measured for 15 minutes. Baseline heart rate will be measured with a sensor loosely attached to the wrist. Breathing will be monitored by another sensor attached around the abdomen by a belt. Each weekly HRV-B training session will last 30-45 minutes. In each session, heart rate and breathing will be monitored while the participant is viewing pleasant images on a computer screen. An Intervention professional will be present throughout the session. While viewing the images, the participant will be coached on how to control their pulse.
盲法: Interventional
盲法描述:
主要目的: Supportive Care
  • Behavioral: Biofeedback
    Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback
  • Experimental: Intervention Group
    Biofeedback. Participants receiving the HRV-B intervention will complete a baseline assessment, a minimum of 4 weeks and up to 6 weekly training sessions (until the criterion of HRV coherence is met), and a final appointment (3-7 days later) where post-training HRV and symptom inventories will be recorded.
  • No Intervention: Control Group
    To control for the laboratory environment or other potential placebo effects, a control group will receive their usual follow-up care for their cancer diagnosis and will complete baseline and post-baseline outcome assessments without any HRV-B training.
