PEAK-RP Trial Summary

This trial tests the feasibility of using an online Tai Chi intervention to help reduce anxiety and improve physical function for prostate cancer patients before and after surgery.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for men awaiting radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer who have permission to exercise, can use a computer with internet, and speak English. They shouldn't be currently practicing Tai Chi or similar mindfulness activities, haven't had major pelvic treatments or surgeries, and don't have medical conditions that would limit participation.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests an online Tai Chi program as prehabilitation for these patients. It aims to see if this approach is practical and helpful in reducing anxiety before surgery and improving physical function both before and after the operation compared to usual care.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Tai Chi is generally considered safe but may include mild side effects like muscle soreness or strain. Since it's a low-impact activity, serious side effects are rare when practiced correctly under guidance.
