Brief Summary:
216 Chemotherapy-naïve, female breast cancer patients about to begin chemotherapy and who expect to have nausea, will be entered. Participants will be randomized to one of three study arms: Arm 1: control; Arm 2: Expectancy-neutral handout + Expectancy-neutral MP3+ acupressure bands; Arm 3: Expectancy-enhancing handout + Expectancy-enhancing MP3 + acupressure bands.
Hypothesis: Acupressure bands provided with the relaxation MP3 will be effective in controlling chemotherapy-induced nausea
Hypothesis: Acupressure bands provided with the relaxation MP3 will be effective in controlling chemotherapy-induced nausea
Detailed Description:
Earlier research has shown that the effectiveness of acupressure bands in reducing nausea could be enhanced by boosting patients' expectations of the bands' efficacy. The present study seeks to confirm and extend these findings in a multi-site, 3-arm, randomized, controlled study of 216 breast cancer patients beginning chemotherapy who expect to have nausea. All patients will receive a standardized antiemetic regimen. Arm 1: control; Arm 2: Expectancy-neutral handout + Expectancy-neutral MP3+ acupressure bands; Arm 3: Expectancy-enhancing handout + Expectancy-enhancing MP3 + acupressure bands. The investigators hypothesize that acupressure bands provided with the relaxation MP3 will be effective in controlling chemotherapy-induced nausea. The two versions of the handout and MP3 are being examined to determine what is the most effective way to deliver the intervention.
