Dance Movement Therapy for Radio-oncological Patients

Abstract

Dance-RT-01 investigates the feasibility and effects of Integrative, resource-oriented short term Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) in radio-oncological patients shortly after radiotherapy (RT). The study assesses clinical outcomes, including reduction of fatigue, improvement of quality of life (QoL), functional capacity and body composition. Immunophenotyping and laboratory blood analyses ensure objectively measurable results. Eligible patients participate in short term DMT, that is combined with psychotherapeutic elements. The trial aims to evaluate DMT's potential as a complementary therapy method in cancer care to support recovery and provide a comprehensive understanding of the therapy's effects.
