Efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Physical Exercise in Alleviating Treatment-Induced Menopausal Symptoms in Patients With Breast Cancer: Results of a Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the impact of cognitive behavioral therapy, physical exercise, and their combination on menopausal symptoms in 422 breast cancer patients with treatment-induced menopause. The study compares these interventions against a waiting list control group using self-report measures at baseline, 12 weeks, and six months. Results indicate that all intervention groups experienced significant reductions in endocrine and urinary symptoms compared to the control group. Additionally, groups receiving CBT showed improvements in perceived hot flash burden and sexual activity.
