NCT03119363: Treating Cancer-Related Fatigue Through Systematic Light Exposure

Cancer related fatigue (CRF) is the most common cancer side effect and can severely interfere with activities of daily living long after completion of medical treatment. Pharmacologic agents to treat CRF have been studied but there is insufficient evidence to recommend their use. Non-pharmacological interventions for CRF have also been studied but are costly to implement and involve significant patient burden. This study investigates a novel low-cost/ low-burden intervention: systematic light exposure to treat CRF.
