A message from Army of Women:
You may remember this Call-to-Action study from back in February. Well, now that we have over 293,000 Army of Women members, many of whom signed up after February, we thought we should send out a reminder that the YOGA STUDY STILL NEEDS YOU!
Survivors know better than anyone that breast cancer and breast cancer treatment are stresses that change the body, mind, and spirit. The researchers at the Ohio State University feel that yoga could be a way to begin the recovery process to heal all three.
If you are a breast cancer survivor in the Columbus, Ohio area, READ ON.
If you know a friend who might be interested in this study, PASS IT ON.
And if you don't fit and don't know anyone who does, HANG ON...the next study might the one for you!
What's the study about?
Breast cancer survivors can have a lot of post-treatment problems, such as fatigue, depression, and a decrease in physical function. It is possible that physical activities, like yoga, could help ease these symptoms. This is a study about how yoga affects fatigue, immune function, and mood of women treated for breast cancer. Two hundred women are needed for this study. What's involved?
If you join the Yoga for Breast Cancer Survivors Study, you will be assigned to one of two groups: yoga or wait-list. The yoga group will attend yoga sessions twice a week for 12 weeks. The wait-list group will have the opportunity to take yoga after the study participation is complete. In addition you will be scheduled for 4 visits over 6-10 months. These visits include blood draws, questionnaires & completion of mild stress tasks. All study activities will take place at the Ohio State University campus. The researcher will discuss scheduling details with each individual. Who is conducting the study?
