Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
* This randomized controlled three arm study compares the effects of a yoga intervention with jacobsons progressive muscle relaxation training and only standard of care in chemotherapy naive cancer patients. * This study will also assess the neurophysiological correlates of nausea and vomiting and assess if effects of intervention on nausea and vomiting outcomes are mediated by changes in gastric motility (electrogastrogram) or stress arousal (cardiac autonomic function and sympathetic skin response) or self reported anxiety.
