Telehealth Exercise for Lymphoma Survivors
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This clinical trial tests how well a telehealth exercise intervention works to improve cardiovascular health in lymphoma survivors. Telehealth exercise is a service to help perform physical exercises at home with a care provider online. With the use of telehealth exercise lymphoma survivors may be able to participate in exercise programs safely to improve heart health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is telehealth exercise safe for lymphoma survivors?
Exercise programs, including those delivered virtually, are generally safe for cancer patients, including those with hematological cancers like lymphoma. A systematic review found that only 0.42% of participants reported adverse events, suggesting that exercise interventions are safe and can improve fitness and health outcomes.12345
How is the Telehealth Exercise Intervention treatment unique for lymphoma survivors?
The Telehealth Exercise Intervention is unique because it uses a virtual platform to deliver exercise programs to lymphoma survivors, making it more accessible by overcoming barriers like travel and time constraints. This approach is not routinely offered, despite the known benefits of exercise for cancer survivors.26789
What data supports the effectiveness of the Telehealth Exercise Intervention treatment for Lymphoma Survivors?
Research shows that virtual exercise programs can help cancer survivors, like those with breast and prostate cancer, overcome barriers to exercise by allowing them to participate from home. This approach has been found feasible and may improve physical fitness and quality of life, suggesting potential benefits for Lymphoma survivors as well.28101112
