Olive oil has shown promising results in preventing PIs due to its high concentrations of monounsaturated fatty acids and phenol antioxidants, known for their anti-inflammatory and cell-protective properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of topical olive oil combined with routine preventive interventions in reducing PI incidence.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A single-blinded, cluster-randomized study was conducted among 80 hospitalized patients at risk of developing PIs. Participants were randomized into two clusters: the intervention group (IVG, n=40) received standard PI preventive care (skin assessment, repositioning, support surfaces) plus topical olive oil application for 7 consecutive days; the control group (CG, n=40) received only standard care. PI prevalence and Braden Scale scores were assessed at baseline and post-intervention (days 3-8). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample ttests.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>At baseline, both groups had a PI prevalence of 52.5% (n=21).

However, the relative effectiveness of these interventions remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of various lifestyle changes on the health outcomes of breast cancer survivors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A comprehensive analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving breast\u0000cancer survivors was conducted across major databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Embase,\u0000CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Studies were selected based on their\u0000evaluation of lifestyle interventions aimed at reducing breast cancer risk and its recurrence and or\u0000improving survival. Non-RCTs and studies focusing solely on pharmacological or genetic\u0000interventions were excluded. The risk of bias in included randomized controlled trials was\u0000assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2). The results of the included studies were\u0000presented in tabulated form.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Physical activity emerged as the most effective intervention, significantly enhancing\u0000metabolic health, body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Dietary changes and weight\u0000management programs provided secondary health benefits, such as modest improvements in diet\u0000quality, metabolic markers, and quality of life. The combined intervention of diet and exercise\u0000further improved these outcomes although it did not significantly reduce cancer recurrence. The\u0000digital support system (EMPOWER-SMS) was feasible and acceptable, offering minor\u0000improvements in medication adherence and self-efficacy, though its effects on BMI and quality\u0000of life were less pronounced.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;Among the various lifestyle interventions explored for breast cancer survivors,\u0000physical activity consistently emerged as the most effective in improving health outcomes. While\u0000dietary changes, weight management, and combined interventions also offered health benefits,\u0000their direct impact on key outcomes like cancer recurrence and survival was less clear. However,\u0000when integrated with regular exercise, these interventions contributed to holistic improvements\u0000in quality of life, making a combined approach potentially the most comprehensive for\u0000supporting breast cancer survivors. This systematic review's limitations include intervention\u0000heterogeneity, varied follow-up durations, inconsistent outcome measures, small sample sizes,\u0000lack of control over confounding variables, limited participant diversity, potential publication\u0000bias, and a focus on short-term outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Physical activity emerged as the most beneficial lifestyle intervention for breast\u0000cancer survivors, particularly when combined with dietary modifications and weight\u0000management. A holistic approach that integrates physical activity, dietary changes, and digital\u0000support may provide the most comprehensiv","PeriodicalId":21174,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on recent clinical trials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144542065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
