Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the short-term effect of Tai Chi on cognitive function in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy compared to the control group receiving moderate intensity walking.

Design

Parallel, single blinded, randomized controlled trial.

Setting

Mangaluru, Karnataka, India.

Participants

44 female post-surgery Breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Interventions

Based on the inclusion criteria patients were randomly assigned into two groups of 22 each. Group A received the Taichi intervention and Group B received the moderate-intensity walking for 30 min,5 times per week for 3 weeks.

Outcome measure

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Cognitive scale version 3 (FACT-Cog 3)

Randomisation

Each random number was concealed separately within a small opaque envelope (SNOSE) and the subjects were equally allocated into two groups with an allocation of 1:1.

Statistical analysis

Independent sample t-test for between the group comparison and paired t-test for within the group comparison.

Results

There were no statistically significant results found between the groups (p-value > 0.05).

Conclusion

The present randomized controlled trial showed that Tai Chi did not improve the cancer-related cognitive Impairment in Breast cancer patients compared to moderate intensity walking. Clinical Trial Registration number: CTRI/2021/08/036012.

太极拳对接受放疗的乳腺癌患者认知功能的影响：随机对照试验

目标与接受中等强度步行的对照组相比，评估太极拳对接受放疗的乳腺癌患者认知功能的短期影响。结果测量癌症治疗认知功能评估量表第 3 版（FACT-Cog 3）随机分配每个随机数字分别隐藏在一个不透明的小信封（SNOSE）中，受试者以 1:1 的分配比例被平均分配到两组。统计分析组间比较采用独立样本t检验，组内比较采用配对t检验。结果组间比较无统计学意义（P值为0.05）。结论本随机对照试验表明，与中等强度的步行相比，太极拳并未改善乳腺癌患者与癌症相关的认知障碍。临床试验注册号CTRI/2021/08/036012.
