Exploration of effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation on circadian rhythms and its associations with sleep and spatial memory in patients with breast cancer: The ICANSLEEP-2 protocol. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0306462. [PMID: 39083526 PMCID: PMC11290633 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0306462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with breast cancer (BC) exhibit circadian rhythm disruptions, mainly of rest-activity rhythm (RAR), of which sleep is an essential component, and cortisol rhythm. Sleep complaints such as insomnia and cognitive impairments are prevalent in BC. In general population, sleep is known to contribute greatly to cognition. Thus, improving RAR (and particularly sleep) could help limiting cognitive impairments in BC patients. It has recently been suggested that, in addition to its essential role in spatial memory, the vestibular system contributes to RAR synchronization. Its stimulation could therefore limit both sleep disturbances and spatial memory deficits in BC. OBJECTIVES The main aim of the ICANSLEEP-2 study is to assess the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) on circadian rhythms. The secondary aim is to assess whether GVS improves sleep and spatial memory in BC patients. METHODS Two groups with insomnia complaints (Insomnia Severity Index > 7) will be included: a patients' group with BC (n = 50) and a healthy control group without history of cancer (n = 25). There will be two assessment sessions, before and after 2 weeks of GVS. Patients will be randomly assigned to either a GVS group or a sham group (noneffective stimulation). Controls will receive GVS. GVS effects will be quantified and compared between groups. Assessments will include actigraphy, salivary cortisol, polysomnography, a cognitive test battery (including a computer-based task for spatial memory) and validated questionnaires (for psychological functioning and sleep complaints). DISCUSSION Current methods for improving sleep in BC have had controversial outcomes regarding sleep structure. We expect GVS to offer a new mean of directly targeting RAR disruptions in BC patients, with beneficial effects on sleep structure. Given the crucial impact of sleep on cognitive functioning, notably spatial memory, improving sleep of BC patients should enhance their cognitive functioning. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study received ethical approval from the Ile de France IV institutional review board on 19 April 2022 (no. ID-RCB: 2022-A00437-36). The findings yielded by this protocol will be presented at various conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05414357.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the internal consistency and construct validity of the QLQ-MY20 for assessing the quality of life in multiple myeloma survivors in Chile. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study conducted between March 2020 and December 2022. It involved 118 individuals from two public hospitals. The QLQ-C30 and QLQ-MY20 questionnaires were used. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha(α), and construct validity was evaluated through hypothesis testing (Mann-Whitney and Spearman correlation). RESULTS The average age of participants was 67.2 years (SD=9.2). Internal consistency for the complete scale was α=0.779, for the "disease symptoms" dimension α=0.671, for the "side effects of treatments" dimension α=0.538, and for the "future perspective" dimension α=0.670. Four of the five construct validity hypotheses were confirmed: women, individuals with worse performance status, those with pain, and those with worse fatigue showed more symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The Chilean version of the QLQ-MY20 demonstrates adequate internal consistency and construct validity.

Indian J Palliat Care 2024; 30:176-181. [PMID: 38846134 PMCID: PMC11152521 DOI: 10.25259/ijpc_89_2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives The primary objective was to compare the hypnotic efficacy of oral melatonin, oral L-theanine, and placebo in improving sleep in cancer patients with insomnia by the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). The secondary objective was to know the prevalence of insomnia in patients with cancer. Materials and Methods A prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted after obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee approval. One hundred and twenty patients were randomly assigned to either Group A (melatonin), Group B (L-theanine), or Group C (placebo). They were instructed to take the tablets for 14 consecutive days, two h (hours) before bedtime, and evaluated with AIS on the 1st day, 7th day, and 14th day. Results There were seven dropouts: Two in Group A, two in Group B, and three in Group C. Significant differences in favour of melatonin treatment were found. There were statistically significant improvements in insomnia in cancer patients on melatonin intake compared to L-theanine. L-theanine had statistically significant improvements in insomnia in comparison to placebo. The mean ± standard deviation AIS on day one in Group A was 14.82 ± 1.29; on day seven was 10.92 ± 1.12; and on day 14 was 5.00 ± 0.70. Similarly, in Group B, the mean ± standard deviation AIS was 15.39 ± 1.03, 13.05 ± 1.06, and 9.55 ± 1.01, and in Group C, the mean AIS was 14.92 ± 1.40, 14.54 ± 1.35 and 13.05 ± 1.61 on the 1st, 7th and 10th day, respectively. There was an improvement in sleep from 1 to 7 days, 7 days to 14 days, and 1 day to 14 days in all the groups (P < 0.005). Conclusion The hypnotic efficacy of oral melatonin 3 mg was better than oral L-theanine 200 mg in cancer patients having insomnia. Furthermore, L-theanine had a better hypnotic efficacy when compared to a placebo.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this research is to further understand the research status and summarize the research hotspots of sleep disorder and cancer, so as to provide insights into future researches. METHODS In this research, the publications pertaining to sleep disorders and cancer from 1992 to 2022 was retrieved from SCIE and SSCI databases in the Web of Science Core Collection. The subject, journal, country/regions, institutions, author, and citations of publications were descriptively analyzed and visual analysis. RESULTS From 1992 to December 2022, a total of 732 relevant literatures were retrieved from WOS SCIE and SSCI databases, the number of publications showed an increasing trend year by year. These articles were published in 252 journals, and the three most productive journals included Supportive Care in Cancer (80 publications), Psycho-oncology (32 publications), and Journal of Pain and Symptom Management (32 publications). The three most productive countries included the USA (367 publications, 50.1%), China (133 publications, 18.2%), and Canada (97 publications, 13.25%), with total citations of 12,684, 1866, and 5263. The three latest hot keywords in this field were sleep duration, validity, and inflammation. CONCLUSION The USA, China, and Canada produced a lot of literature in the research field of sleep disorders and cancer, and had relatively great academic influence from 1992 to 2022. Researchers could pay more attention to the published in journals such as Journal of Clinical Oncology, Sleep, and Supportive Care in Cancer to timely grasp the latest progress and expand the breadth and depth in this area. Looking at the history of tumor and sleep disorder research in the past 20 years, the clinical treatment of sleep disorder caused by tumor and the direct bidirectional mechanism of the two may be a new focus of future research.

Abstract
Sleep is a fundamental human need; sleep disruption, in fact, causes an increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, metabolic effects, changes in circadian rhythms, and pro-inflammatory responses. The scientific literature is finally starting to pay attention to the central role of sleep alterations in patients health. Oxaliplatin is extensively used for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer and other malignancies, with an increased frequency of use in recent years. This study aims to understand the effects of sleep complaints on health and quality of life in cancer patients treated with oxaliplatin. A study has been conducted through the creation and distribution of questionnaires to patients to investigate their complaints about sleep quality. We observed significant differences between males and females in evaluating sleep hygiene scores, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and previous difficulty sleeping. Moreover, in females, stress, worries, and anxiety seem to play a negative role in the sleep hygiene score. The obtained results could improve the interest of healthcare personnel and caregivers in sleep quality in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Abstract
Objectives Cancer-related insomnia (CRI) takes a toll on many cancer survivors, causing distressing symptoms and deteriorating the quality of life. Acupuncture therapy has been used for CRI already. However, it is still uncertain which acupuncture regime is best for CRI. The primary objective of this review is to conduct a comparative evaluation and ranking of the effectiveness of different acupuncture therapies for CRI. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that were published up to July 31, 2023, from 8 databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and China Biology Medicine disc) were integrated in this study. Trials that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated the risk of bias. Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to assess the efficacy of different acupuncture therapies as the primary outcome. Then, STATA 15, R, and OpenBUGS were applied to perform the network meta-analysis. PRISMA statements were followed in this network meta-analysis. Results A total of 37 studies were included in this review, involving 16 interventions with 3,246 CRI participants. Auriculotherapy + moxibustion [surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) 98.98%] and auriculotherapy (SUCRA 77.47%) came out top of the ranking, which were more effective than control, medicine, usual care and sham acupuncture. Conclusion Auriculotherapy + moxibustion and auriculotherapy + acupuncture emerged as the top two acupuncture regimes for CRI and future studies should pay more attention to CRI.

Abstract
Background Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) is a common malignant tumor of the biliary system. Factors such as limited physical function, intractability, and high mortality caused by the tumor lead to negative emotions, such as anxiety and depression in patients. In this study, we investigated the risk factors for negative emotions in patients undergoing radical resection of HCCA during the perioperative period and its effect on prognosis to provide strategies for alleviating the negative emotional disorders of patients and improving prognosis. Methods From September 2016 to August 2021, we retrospectively examined 205 patients with HCCA who underwent radical resection in our hospital. The incidence of negative emotions and the clinical parameters of patients were compared using Chi-square tests and t-tests. The independent risk factors for unfavorable feelings in patients during the perioperative period were determined using binary logistic regression. The key variables influencing the postoperative survival status of HCCA patients were identified using the log-rank univariate analysis and Cox proportional risk regression analysis. Results The results of the binary logistic regression analysis showed that perioperative negative emotions were independently influenced by family monthly income (OR = 0.069), medical insurance (OR = 0.089), family care (OR = 0.013), sleep quality (OR = 0.071), TNF-α (OR = 5.851), and bile leakage (OR = 29.412) (P < 0.05). The age of the patient (OR = 2.003), preoperative CA19-9 (OR = 2.038), lymph node metastases (OR = 2.327), and negative mood (OR = 3.054) were independent risk variables that affected the survival status of patients, as determined by the results of Cox regression analysis (P < 0.05). Conclusion In this study, we found that anxiety and depression in patients undergoing radical operation of HCCA are related to family monthly income, medical insurance, sleep quality, family care, TNF-α, and bile leakage; also, negative emotions have adverse effects on prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in the quality of sleep are reported often in cancer patients and have a major impact on general health. However, insomnia tends to be insufficiently evaluated and managed. AIM The aim of the study was to analyze the perception of clinical staff working in oncology units regarding patients' sleep disorders. Furthermore, we assessed the prevalence of insomnia in this category of professionals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was cross sectional and used a descriptive and correlational design. Clinical personnel working in oncology departments were invited to complete a questionnaire regarding sleep problems in patients, and optionally, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index questionnaire was administered. Correlations between age, profession, experience, and their responses were statistically analyzed. RESULTS We gathered 101 responses, with 63.4% coming from doctors. With one exception, all professionals observed changes in sleep patterns in patients, but less than a third were actively looking for these problems and only three health professionals used questionnaires. No significant differences in answers were noted based on age, profession, or experience. Regarding professionals, 45.6% of them had impaired sleep based on the Pittsburgh questionnaire results. CONCLUSION Oncology staff are aware of the existence and impact of sleep problems, but active assessment for sleep problems is low. There is a relative high prevalence of poor sleep quality among oncology staff. In order to improve the well-being of patients, the quality of sleep should be documented as part of the care plan. The existence of guidelines is desirable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previous studies that focussed on sleep disturbance have primarily examined specific aspects of sleep disorders rather than considering overall sleep quality. We aimed to investigate different sleep disorders and their combination as risk factors for different types of cancer. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, we included 78,232 participants. A self-reported questionnaire was used to address insomnia, daytime sleepiness, snoring, and sleep duration. Overall sleep quality was evaluated by summarising these four sleep parameters. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to estimate the hazard ratios and their 95% confidence intervals for determining the effect of the overall sleep-quality score and its components on the risk of incident cancer. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 5.67 years, 1266 participants were diagnosed with incident cancer. Compared to participants in the best sleep-quality score group, participants in the worst sleep-quality score group had a higher subsequent risk of overall cancer, and colorectal, breast, uterine or uterine cervical, prostatic, kidney, and bladder cancer. Participants with insomnia and snoring status had an elevated risk of head and neck, breast, uterine or uterine cervical, prostatic, kidney, bladder cancer, and lymphoma. CONCLUSIONS Poor overall sleep-quality scores as well as poor scores for the scale's components, including insomnia and snoring status, elevated the risk of overall and several specific-site cancers.

Cancer-Related Dysfunctional Beliefs About Sleep Mediate the Influence of Sleep Disturbance on Fear of Progression Among Patients With Surgically Resected Lung Cancer. J Korean Med Sci 2023; 38:e236. [PMID: 37550804 PMCID: PMC10412036 DOI: 10.3346/jkms.2023.38.e236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is associated with significant psychological distress, including fear of progression (FoP). Because insomnia and depression are highly prevalent and associated with FoP, we examined the association between FoP, insomnia, and depression in cancer patients. Furthermore, we tested the mediation effect of cancer-related dysfunctional beliefs about sleep (C-DBS) on this association. METHODS We analyzed data collected from patients with surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer from a single-center randomized controlled study investigating digital healthcare applications. Baseline demographic and clinical variables were collected. In addition, self-reported questionnaires including the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form, Patients Health Questionnaire-9 items (PHQ-9), Insomnia Severity Index, and C-DBS were administered. RESULTS Among the 320 enrolled patients with lung cancer, a regression model showed that FoP was predicted by age (β = -0.13, P = 0.007), PHQ-9 (β = 0.35, P < 0.001), and C-DBS (β = 0.28, P < 0.001). Insomnia did not directly influence FoP, but C-DBS mediated the association. Depression directly influenced FoP, but C-DBS did not mediate this association. CONCLUSION Among patients with surgically resected lung cancer, C-DBS mediated the effects of severity of insomnia on FoP. Depression directly influenced FoP, but C-DBS did not influence this association. To reduce FoP among patients with lung cancer, C-DBS should be addressed in the cognitive behavioral therapy module.

J Clin Neurosci 2023; 111:39-45. [PMID: 36934658 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2023.03.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The burden of having neurologic symptoms (NS) in cancer patients has scantly been studied; therefore, we performed a study whose purpose was to measure the impact of having clinically active (NS) on the quality of life (QoL) of non-primary CNS cancer patients. METHODS Patients with systemic cancer (non-primary CNS cancer) sent for neurological evaluation at a single cancer center (INCAN) were prospectively invited to respond the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and BN20 questionnaires. Associations of the questionnairés items were blindly measured for the following groups: NS+ or not (NS-) and having active cancer (AC+) or not (AC-). RESULTS Of 205 patients aged 55.4 ± 15.4 years, 122 (60%) had NS+ and 107 (52%) AC +. The NS+ group (compared with the NS-) showed a significant worse perception in the following scales/items of the EORTC QLQ-C30: physical functioning (median 86 vs. 92, P = 0.012), role functioning (66 vs. 100, P < 0.001), emotional functioning (75 vs. 83, P = 0.005), cognitive functioning (66 vs. 83, P < 0.001), fatigue (33 vs. 22, P < 0.001), nausea and vomiting (P = 0.021), pain (33 vs. 16, P < 0.001), insomnia (33 vs. 0, P = 0.011), appetite loss (P = 0.021), and global health (66 vs. 75, P = 0.001). CONCLUSION In patients with systemic (non-CNS) cancer, the QoL is significantly worse for patients with active neurologic symptoms.

Abstract
PURPOSE Insomnia is frequent in patients with advanced cancer, and a variety of pharmacological agents is used to treat this condition. Still, few clinical trials have investigated the effectiveness of pharmacological sleep therapies in this patient group. We aimed to study the short-term effectiveness of zopiclone on sleep quality in patients with advanced cancer who report insomnia. METHODS A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, phase IV clinical trial in adult patients with metastatic malignant disease and insomnia. Patients were treated with zopiclone or placebo for six subsequent nights. Primary end point was patient-reported sleep quality during the final study night (NRS 0-10). Secondary end points were patient-reported sleep onset latency (SOL) and total sleep time (TST). RESULTS Forty-one patients were randomized, with 18 being analyzed in the zopiclone group and 21 in the placebo group. Median age was 66, median Karnofsky performance score was 80, and 56% were male. Mean sleep quality at end of study was 2.9 (CI 2.3 to 3.8) in the zopiclone group and 4.5 (CI 3.6 to 5.4) in the placebo group (p = 0.021). At end of study, SOL was significantly different between the treatment groups: zopiclone 29 min (CI 13 to 51) and placebo 62 min (CI 40 to 87) (p = 0.045). TST was not significantly different across groups: zopiclone 449 min (403 to 496) and placebo 411 min (CI 380 to 440) (p = 0.167). CONCLUSION Zopiclone improved short-term patient-reported sleep quality in this cohort of patients with advanced cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02807922.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Symptoms of insomnia are highly prevalent in patients with breast cancer. There are a large number of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions that can be used for the management of insomnia in breast cancer patients; however, their comparative effectiveness and acceptability remain uncertain. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of different interventions for insomnia in breast cancer patients using a Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA). METHODS We will perform a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, and PsycINFO from inception to November 2022. We will include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the effects of different interventions on the management of insomnia in breast cancer patients. We will assess the risk of bias assessment using a modified Cochrane instrument. We will conduct a Bayesian random-effects framework NMA to estimate relative effects of interventional procedures. We will use Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation to rate the certainty of evidence. DISCUSSION To our knowledge, this will be the first systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and acceptability of all currently available interventions for insomnia in patients with breast cancer. The results of our review will help provide more evidence for the treatment of insomnia in breast cancer patients. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO registration number CRD42021282211.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in treating symptoms for Cancer-related Insomnia(CRI) patients. Methods Seven databases were searched from the time of database establishment to 31 March 2022. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) on acupuncture intervention for CRI were collected. Literature screening and data extraction were performed independently by two researchers. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results A total of 13 articles with 1,109 participants were included. Five hundred and seventeen in the treatment group and 592 in the control group. Ten of the RCTs used the PSQI rating scale and four randomized controlled trials used the ISI rating scale, and the PSQI and ISI were analyzed together as continuous data. The results of the meta-analysis were: MD = -1.83, 95%CI = [-2.71, -0.94], P < 0.0001, indicating a significant improvement in PSQI scores in patients with CRI by acupuncture intervention; MD = 0.79, 95%CI = [-0.46, 2.03], P = 0.22. Acupuncture was not statistically significant on ISI scores for patients with CRI compared to controls, which does not yet indicate that acupuncture is effective for symptoms in patients with CRI. The results of the meta-analysis of the other 4 items using sleep disorder logs as efficacy analysis data were as follow, relative risk RR = 0.47, 95%CI = [0.33, 0.66], P < 0.0001. The difference was statistically significant, indicating that acupuncture can improve the symptoms of CRI patients compared to control group. Conclusion Acupuncture can improve the symptoms of patients with CRI to some extent, but due to the relatively small number and low quality of the included literature in this study, more high-quality clinical trials are needed as supplement the evidences in future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cancer-related insomnia (CRI), as a common complication in cancer survivors, may further lead to depression, anxiety and other symptoms. Acupuncture therapy is a promising therapeutic strategy for CRI. The effectiveness of acupuncture therapy on CRI has been validated by several relevant meta-analyses. Questions remain, however, including which acupuncture regimen is optimal. We aim to conduct the first network meta-analysis to compare different acupuncture therapies, rank their effectiveness and assess which approach could be optimal for treatment of CRI. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database (China Science and Technology Journal Database), and China Biology Medicine (from inception until 1 March 2022) will be carried out to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture therapy for insomnia in cancer survivors, reported in English or Chinese. Reviews, animal studies, non-RCT studies, editorials and other secondary insomnia studies will be excluded. The primary outcome measure will be the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Pairwise meta-analysis will be performed in Stata and network meta-analysis by OpenBUGS, R and Stata. Network plots and funnel plots will be used to show the scale of studies and participants for each intervention and the potential publication bias, respectively. Both heterogeneity and consistency will be evaluated by R. ORs with 95% CIs and mean differences with 95% CI will be calculated in OpenBUGS and transformed into league figure and surface under the cumulative ranking by Stata to visualise the results. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical committee approval for this review is unnecessary since the data used will be extracted from pre-existing literature. The results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at international academic conferences.

Symptoms and survivorship needs differences between "good sleepers" and "bad sleepers" in survivors of breast and gynecologic cancers. Sleep Med 2022; 100:49-55.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although 80% of cancer survivors report symptoms of insomnia, only 28-43% meet DSM-5 criteria for this diagnosis. We sought to characterize the association between patient-reported insomnia symptoms, patient outcomes, and supportive care variables, as well as explore clinically meaningful insomnia thresholds in a sample of women diagnosed with breast and gynecologic cancers. METHODS From July 2018-March 2019, all breast and gynecologic cancer survivors seen at the Stanford Women's Cancer Center were approached and invited to participate in the study (15% declined). Of those who consented, 273 survivors completed an online survey related to their sleep (ISI), quality of life (FACT-G), distress (PHQ-4), supportive care needs (SCNS-SF34), and symptom severity (MDASI). Survivors who scored <8 on ISI were categorized as "good sleepers," survivors with ISI ≥8 were categorized as "bad sleepers." RESULTS 126 (46.2%) of survivors were "good sleepers," 147 (53.8%) were "bad sleepers." Good sleepers were older than bad sleepers (p < .05) but did not differ in any other demographic or any medical variables. Using hierarchical linear regression models, we found that good sleep (ISI <8) was associated with higher quality of life, lower psychological distress, increased social support, lower symptom severity, and lower supportive care needs, after accounting for demographic, medical, and treatment variables. The findings were largely replicated with an ISI cut off of 15. CONCLUSIONS Among women treated for breast and gynecologic cancers, survivors who were good sleepers had better psychosocial outcomes, fewer supportive care needs, and lower symptom severity compared to those who reported insomnia symptoms. Results also indicate that degree of sleep impairment, whether mild or severe, has similarly poor associations with most aspects of patient functioning and symptomatic burden. Further research is needed to determine causality of these findings.

Abstract
Researchers have identified an association between lifestyle factors and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. This study examined the relationship between sleep patterns and CRC events. 392,252 individuals were sampled from the UK Biobank. Chronotype, sleep duration, insomnia, snoring, and excessive daytime sleepiness were combined to measure a healthy sleep score. A number of healthy sleep factors were defined, along with factors for healthy lifestyle scores. Using Cox proportional hazards regression, computed hazard ratios (HRs) were used to examine the associations between sleep patterns, healthy lifestyles, and the incidence of CRC. Healthy sleep scores were inversely associated with CRC events. The HRs for CRC were 0.90 (95% CI, 0.88-0.92) and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.92-0.98) for a 1-point healthy sleep score increase among males and females. When analyzing sleep components, sleeping 7-8 h/day, no frequent insomnia, no snoring, and no frequent daytime sleepiness were independently associated with a 9%, 14%, 8%, and 14% lower risk of CRC, respectively, whilst healthy lifestyle scores were inversely associated with CRC incidence across all models. Sleep pattern and lifestyle are significantly correlated with CRC risk. The healthier the subject's lifestyle and sleep pattern, the lower their CRC risk.

An Evidence-Based Somatic Acupressure Intervention Protocol for Managing the Breast Cancer Fatigue-Sleep Disturbance-Depression Symptom Cluster: Development and Validation following the Medical Research Council Framework. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:11934. [PMID: 36231235 PMCID: PMC9565572 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191911934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Somatic acupoint stimulation (SAS) has been frequently utilised as a promising intervention for individual cancer-related symptom management, such as fatigue, sleep disturbance and depression. However, research evidence regarding the role of SAS in mitigating the fatigue-sleep disturbance-depression symptom cluster (FSDSC) has been scant. This study was conducted to develop an evidence-based SAS intervention protocol that can be further implemented in a Phase II randomized controlled trial (RCT) to manage the FSDSC in breast cancer survivors. METHODS The Medical Research Council Framework for Developing and Evaluating Complex Intervention (MRC framework) was employed to guide the development procedures of the SAS intervention protocol, including the identification of an existing evidence base, the identification of theories and practice standards, and the validation of the SAS intervention protocol. A content validity study was performed through an expert panel to assess the scientific and practical appropriateness of the SAS intervention protocol. The content validity index (CVI), including item-level CVI and protocol-level CVI, were calculated to evaluate the consensus level of the expert panel. RESULTS Key components of the SAS protocol, including the acupoint formula, the SAS modality, technique, intensity and frequency were identified for both a true and placebo SAS intervention based on the best available research evidence retrieved from systematic reviews, clinical trials, and relevant theories, particularly regarding the inflammatory process, yin-yang theory, zang-fu organs and meridians theory, and acupressure practical standards. The true SAS intervention was determined as daily self-administered acupressure on specific acupoints for seven weeks. The placebo SAS was designed as light acupressure on non-acupoints with the same frequency and duration as the true SAS. Excellent content validity was achieved after one round of expert panel assessment, with all the key components of the true and placebo SAS protocols rated as content valid (CVI ranged from 0.86 to 1.00). CONCLUSIONS A research-informed, theory-driven and practically feasible SAS intervention protocol for the FSDSC management in breast cancer survivors was developed following the MRC framework. The feasibility and acceptability of the SAS intervention will be further tested in breast cancer survivors through a Phase II RCT.

The effect of a combined treatment of foot soak and lavender oil inhalation therapy on the severity of insomnia of patients with cancer: Randomized interventional study. Explore (NY) 2022; 19:426-433. [PMID: 36270928 DOI: 10.1016/j.explore.2022.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This three-arm randomized intervention study was carried out with the aim to evaluate the effects of a combined foot soak and lavender oil inhalation therapy on the severity of insomnia of patients with cancer. METHOD This research was carried out in oncology and palliative services. Forty-five patients were randomly assigned to three groups. Throughout a 14-day period, 20 min of foot soak treatment was applied to the patients in the F group, patients in the L group were applied lavender oil inhalation therapy for 5 min and a combined treatment of foot soak and lavender oil inhalation therapy were applied to the patients in the FL group. Insomnia severity of the patients in all groups were evaluated twice using the Insomnia Severity Index at the baseline and on the fifteenth day. RESULTS The severity of the insomnia of the patients in all groups was found to be moderate. The severity of the insomnia in the second evaluation was found to be statistically significantly lower in the L and FL groups (p<0.05) compared to the baseline evaluation within the group, however no significant difference was found in the F group (p>0.05). The effect size of a combined treatment of foot soak and lavender oil inhalation therapy on the severity of insomnia of patients in the FL group was higher and moderate (d = 0.684) compared to merely foot soak and merely lavender oil inhalation therapy. CONCLUSION A combined treatment of foot soak and lavender oil inhalation therapy shall mitigate the severity of a moderate level of insomnia of patients with cancer.

An Update on Prevalence, Assessment, and Risk Factors for Sleep Disturbances in Patients with Advanced Cancer—Implications for Health Care Providers and Clinical Research. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14163933. [PMID: 36010925 PMCID: PMC9406296 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14163933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary This review focuses on sleep in patients with advanced cancer. Cancer patients experience multiple symptoms and they receive concomitant medications. These are all factors that may affect sleep. In this paper, we present recommendations on sleep assessment in patients with advanced cancer and highlight cancer-related factors that may contribute to insomnia. Sleep is an essential aspect of health-related quality of life; therefore, it is important for health care providers to focus on sleep to improve patient care. Abstract Patients with advanced cancer experience multiple symptoms, with fluctuating intensity and severity during the disease. They use several medications, including opioids, which may affect sleep. Sleep disturbance is common in cancer patients, decreases the tolerability of other symptoms, and impairs quality of life. Despite its high prevalence and negative impact, poor sleep quality often remains unrecognized and undertreated. Given that sleep is an essential aspect of health-related quality of life, it is important to extend both the knowledge base and awareness among health care providers in this field to improve patient care. In this narrative review, we provide recommendations on sleep assessment in patients with advanced cancer and highlight cancer-related factors that contribute to insomnia. We also present direct implications for health care providers working in palliative care and for future research.

CLINICAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE : THE OFFICIAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN COLLEGE OF NEUROPSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 20:364-372. [PMID: 35466107 PMCID: PMC9048007 DOI: 10.9758/cpn.2022.20.2.364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Objective We investigated the sleep parameters and clinical factors related to short sleep onset latency (SL) in cancer patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 235 cancer patients. Patient Health Questionnaire-9, State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (State subcategory), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Cancer-related Dysfunctional Beliefs about Sleep, and Fear of Progression scale scores and sleep related parameters including sleeping pill ingestion time, bedtime, sleep onset time, and wake-up time were collected. We also calculated the duration from sleeping pill ingestion to bedtime, sleep onset time, and wake-up time; duration from wake-up time to bedtime and sleep onset time; and time spent in bed over a 24 hours period. Results Among patients not taking sleeping pills (n = 145), early wake-up time (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.19−0.78), early sleep onset time (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.27−0.93), and low ISI score (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.71−0.93) were identified as expecting variables for SL ≤ 30 minutes. Longer duration from wake-up time to bedtime (OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.48−4.18) predicted SL ≤ 30 minutes. Among those taking sleeping pills (n = 90), early sleep onset time (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.39−0.76) and short duration from pill ingestion to sleep onset time (OR 0.05, 95% CI 0.02−0.16) predicted SL ≤ 30 minutes. Conclusion Cancer patients who fell asleep quickly spent less time in bed during the day. Thus, before cancer patients with insomnia are prescribed sleeping pills, their sleep parameters should be examined to improve their SL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the efficacy of individualized symptom management based on patients' self-reports during interventional therapy (IT) for liver cancer. METHODS Patients with liver cancer who received IT at First Affiliated Hospital of ****** University from April to August 2019 were apportioned to either an intervention or control group (n = 70 each). The control group received routine nursing care and the intervention group received a nursing management program. The severity of specific symptoms, as measured by the Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS), and satisfaction with nursing care, were analyzed. RESULTS Compared to the control group, patients given individualized management experienced significantly less severe pain, nausea, anxiety, and fatigue (p < .05). The scores for KPS and satisfaction with care were both significantly improved in the intervention group than in the control group (p < .05). CONCLUSION This high-quality nursing management program predicated on patients' self-reports is worthy of clinical application and popular adoption.

Abstract
Background Insomnia is one of the most frequent symptoms in people with cancer. Electroacupuncture has been widely used in people with cancer or insomnia. We explored the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of electroacupuncture for cancer-related insomnia. Methods People with cancer and insomnia disorder were randomly allocated to electroacupuncture, sham-electroacupuncture, or usual care groups. Participants received either 10 sessions of electroacupuncture at real acupoints, sham-electroacupuncture at non-acupoints, or usual care in each group for 4 weeks. We calculated the recruitment, adherence, and completion rates of participants. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), sleep diary and actigraphy-derived sleep parameters, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Fatigue (FACT-F), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and salivary levels of cortisol and melatonin were evaluated as outcome measures. Results Twenty-two participants were enrolled (8, 6, and 8 respectively in the electroacupuncture, sham-electroacupuncture, and usual care groups) and 20 participants completed the trials (8, 4, and 8 respectively). The recruitment, adherence, and completion rates were 78.57% (22/28), 95.45% (21/22), and 90.91% (20/22), respectively. Most of the participants had previously received conventional treatment for insomnia, but few had received Korean medicine treatment, without any demographic or clinical differences between groups. In the electroacupuncture group, there was a statistically significant reduction of 10.13 (mean) ± 8.15 (standard deviation) and 5 ± 3.70 points in mean ISI and PSQI scores at 4 weeks post-treatment (P = .0098 and .0066), compared with sham-electroacupuncture (2.06 ± 7.15 and 1.61 ± 4.34; P = .4796 and .3632) and usual care (3.25 ± 2.60 and 1.38 ± 2.13; P = .0096 and .1112). Although there was no significant difference in ISI score between groups at 4 weeks post-treatment, the electroacupuncture group continued to improve significantly at 4 weeks’ follow-up, showing borderline and significant differences compared to the sham-electroacupuncture and usual care (P = .0614 and .0015). The FACT-F scores in electroacupuncture group showed a significant improvement compared with the sham-electroacupuncture group (P = .0305). No electroacupuncture-related adverse events were reported. Conclusions Electroacupuncture might be feasible for cancer-related insomnia, despite slow participant recruitment. Additional trials with adequately powered sample sizes and a substantial change to the recruitment procedure are needed. Trial registration Clinical Research Information Service, KCT0002162.

Implementing an evidence-based somatic acupressure intervention in breast cancer survivors with the symptom cluster of fatigue, sleep disturbance and depression: study protocol of a phase II randomised controlled trial. BMJ Open 2022; 12:e054597.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The fatigue-sleep disturbance-depression (FSD) symptom cluster, as one of the most common symptom clusters in breast cancer (BC) survivors, can significantly decrease patients' quality of life. Since the management of the FSD symptom cluster has been unsatisfactory with the use of pharmacological treatments alone, non-pharmacological approaches have, therefore, been recommended. Somatic acupressure (SA) is a promising approach given its potential benefits of cancer-related symptom alleviation and the convenience of self-practice. However, research evidence on using acupressure to manage the FSD symptom cluster has been limited. The proposed trial aims to examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of an evidence-based SA intervention for FSD symptom cluster management in BC survivors. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study will be a phase II randomised controlled trial with three study arms and 1:1:1 allocation. Fifty-one early-stage BC survivors who are experiencing the FSD symptom cluster will be randomly assigned to a true SA group, a sham SA group or a usual care group. All participants will receive an education booklet regarding FSD symptom cluster management advice as the usual care package. The participants in the true SA group will additionally receive a 7-week self-administered SA intervention. The participants in the sham SA group will additionally receive self-administered light acupressure at non-acupoints with the same frequency, session and duration as the true SA group. The primary outcomes will be feasibility outcomes related to subject recruitment and completion of study questionnaires and interventions. The secondary outcomes will be the effects of SA on fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression and quality of life. Descriptive statistics will be used to present all the outcomes. The secondary outcomes will be analysed using an intent-to-treat approach. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approvals of this trial have been granted by the Human Research Ethics Committee at Charles Darwin University (H19017) and the Clinical Trial Ethics Committee at The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University (KY2019039). Findings from this trial will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at professional conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov and the registration number is NCT04118140, with the stage at Recruiting.

Abstract
Objective In this study, we aimed to assess anxiety and sleep quality in cancer patients treated or followed up at our clinic at the time of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Seven hundred and sixty-one patients who were either treated or followed up at our oncology clinic between April 2020 and May 2020 were included. Patients were assessed with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results Mean scores of the 761 participants were STAI, 43.45 ± 9.34 (range, 23–75), and PSQI, 5.67 ± 4.24 (range, 0–19). Quality of sleep was found bad in 447 (58.7%) (global score ≥5). Univariate analyses demonstrated statistical differences by stage of cancer, status of treatment, subgroup of treatment, monthly income, and levels of education in anxiety and sleep quality levels. Multivariate analyses showed active treatment (OR: 21.4; 95% CI: 9.08–50.4; p < 0.001) as the major independent variable that affected sleep quality; the major independent variable associated with anxiety was low income (OR: 4.43; 95% CI: 1.69–11.5; p = 0.002). Conclusion Anxiety and sleep quality levels were found comparable to pre-pandemic reports, and the pandemic was not observed to have additional negative impact on cancer patients. Also, universal basal anxiety and sleep disorder that accompany cancer or active treatment were observed in our study. The accurate effects of the pandemic can be analyzed in further studies using repeated data obtained from the same patient group.

Abstract
Background: Insomnia is one of the most prevalent cancer-related symptoms and has a severe impact on the quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional herbal medicine (THM) for improving sleep quality in patients with cancer. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating orally administered THM in a cancer population with insomnia were searched using nine electronic databases up to November 30, 2020. The outcome measurements were sleep quality measured by validated questionnaire such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), total effective rate, and adverse effects. The included studies were appraised using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and meta-analyzed. The quality of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) method. Results: Fourteen RCTs were included in the systematic review, and 10 RCTs were analyzed quantitatively. Compared to hypnotics, THM showed a significant improvement in sleep quality by reducing the PSQI score [mean difference (MD) -2.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) -3.46 to -1.05, I 2 = 84%] and increasing the total effective rate [risk ratio (RR) 1.26, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.48, I 2 = 70%] with low quality of evidence. Compared to placebo, THM also reduced the PSQI score significantly (MD -2.56, 95% CI -3.81 to -1.31, I 2 = 91%) with moderate quality of evidence. The most frequently used herbs were Ziziphus jujuba Mill. No serious adverse events were observed. Conclusion: This review suggests that THM may be an effective therapeutic option for insomnia in patients with cancer. However, considering the limited methodological qualities and inconsistent results of the included trials, further rigorous RCTs are required.

Abstract
Aim We aim to provide available synthesized evidence of the efficacy and safety of auricular acupressure for cancer patients with sleep disturbance. Methods Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) were identified from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Chinese Biomedical Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chongqing VIP, and Wanfang Data, and the search date ranged from the inception of the databases to May 2021. Literature screening and data extraction were independently performed by three researchers. The Cochrane collaboration's tool for assessing the risk of bias was applied to evaluate the risk of bias of the RCTs included. The extracted data were analyzed using Rev-Man 5.4.1 software. Results Nine trials involving 688 participants met the inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative analysis; 6 trials involving 485 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Synthesized results showed that auricular acupressure had a significant effect on reducing the total Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score (MD = −3.88, 95% CI (−5.24, −2.53), P < 0.00001), and the scores of five PSQI components, sleep latency (MD = −0.53, 95% CI (−0.73, −0.32), P < 0.00001), subjective sleep quality (MD = −0.79, 95% CI (−1.05, −0.53), P < 0.00001), sleep duration (MD = −0.50, 95% CI (−0.69, −0.31), P < 0.0001), daytime dysfunction (MD = −0.53, 95% CI (−0.77, −0.29), P < 0.0001), and sleep disturbances (MD = −0.54, 95% CI (−0.60, −0.49), P < 0.00001), were also obviously decreased after the intervention of auricular acupressure. Shenmen and heart were the most commonly selected auricular acupoints, the main intervention durations ranged from 10 to 42 days, and the pressing times of auricular acupoints were 1–6 times a day, 1–5 min each time. One trial reported slight and transient pain caused by auricular acupressure, while the remaining 8 trials did not report obvious side effects. Conclusion Auricular acupressure can significantly improve the sleep quality of cancer patients with sleep disturbance, with no obvious side effects. Rigorously designed clinical trials are necessary for the further support of the clinical application.

Abstract
In addition to cancer-related death, malignant progression also leads to a series of symptoms and side-effects, which would detrimentally affect cancer patients' the quality of life, adversely influence their adherence to treatments, and, therefore, negatively affect their long-term survival. Acupuncture and electroacupuncture (EA), as two classic treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine, have been widely employed to cure various diseases. Recently, the clinical application of acupuncture and EA in cancer patients has received great attention. In this review, we summarized the clinical application of acupuncture and EA in alleviating the cancer symptoms, reducing the cancer treatment-related side-effects, and relieving the cancer pain. The symptoms and side-effects discussed in this review include fatigue, insomnia, chemotherapy-associated dyspepsia syndrome (CADS), pain, xerostomia, and anxiety and depression. The underlying mechanisms of the therapeutic effects of acupuncture and EA might be related to the regulation of the mitochondrial function, coordination of the activity of the nervous system, adjustment of the production of neurotransmitters, and alleviation of the immune responses. In conclusion, acupuncture and EA have been proved to be beneficial for cancer patients. More research, however, is required to clarify the potential mechanisms behind acupuncture and EA for widespread adoption in clinical application.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18168509. [PMID: 34444258 PMCID: PMC8392089 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18168509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Insomnia is one of the most frequent symptoms and usually generates significant stress in 60% of patients with advanced cancer. Worries from the patients' and relatives' perspective are crucial to improve the patients' quality of life but have received limited attention. The aims were to identify the concerns of patients with insomnia in the terminal illness stage in a palliative care unit and the relatives' perception, and to compare both. Here, 63 patients and 53 relatives answered a questionnaire about worries in the personal, spiritual, family-related and economic area, as well as a quality-of-life uniscale. The results showed that the relatives' most frequent concern was "Having lived life to the fullest" (100%), and the most intense was "The possible suffering during the process" (9.2/10). The patients' most expressed concern was: "Having unfinished business" (100%), and the most intense was "Suffering during the process" (9.3/10). Quality of life showed an average value of 6.95 out of 10. Relatives only coincided significantly in: "Not knowing what happens after death" (r = 0.600; p = 0.000). These results bring visibility to concerns during the final stage of oncological palliative patients with insomnia from the patients' and relatives' perspective. Knowing both is useful for professionals to foster the well-being for a short, yet very important, period for patients, relatives and the caregiving team.

What makes one respond to acupuncture for insomnia? Perspectives of cancer survivors. Palliat Support Care 2021; 18:301-306.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Like any therapy, acupuncture is effective for some patients, while not helpful for others. Understanding from a patients' perspective what makes one respond or not to acupuncture can help guide further intervention development. This study aimed to identify factors that influence the perception of acupuncture's therapeutic effect among cancer survivors with insomnia. METHOD We conducted post-treatment semi-structured interviews with cancer survivors who were randomized to the acupuncture group in a clinical trial for the treatment of insomnia. Survivors were categorized into Responders and Non-Responders to acupuncture treatment based on the change in the Insomnia Severity Index with a reduction of eight points or greater as the cut-off for the response. An integrated approach to data analysis was utilized by merging an a priori set of codes derived from the key ideas and a set of codes that emerged from the data through a grounded theory approach. Codes were examined for themes and patterns. RESULTS Among 28 cancer survivors interviewed, 18 (64%) were classified as Responders. Participants perceived the ability to respond to acupuncture as dependent on treatment that effectively: (1) alleviated co-morbidities contributing to insomnia, (2) supported sleep hygiene practices, and (3) provided a durable therapeutic effect. Acupuncture treatment that did not address one of these themes often detracted from positive treatment outcomes and diminished perceived benefit from acupuncture. SIGNIFICANCE OF RESULTS We identified patient-perceived contributors to response to acupuncture, such as co-morbid medical conditions, adequate support for sleep hygiene practices, and temporary therapeutic relief. Addressing these factors may improve the overall effectiveness of acupuncture for insomnia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Insomnia is common in patients undergoing surgery. It can increase the rate of postoperative complications, interfere with patient recovery, and decrease hospital satisfaction. However, there are few studies on perioperative insomnia. This study was conducted to investigate the differences in the demographic, health status, and clinical characteristics of patients with and without insomnia postoperatively, and to identify the potential risk factors of insomnia. METHODS There were 299 non-cardiac surgery patients, 165 females, and 134 males, with a mean age of 55 years, enrolled in the study. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were administered to all the patients preoperatively. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used preoperatively, and at the end of the surgery, and then one day, two days, and three days after surgery. The PHQ-9, the GAD-7, and the ISI were repeated three days after surgery. Insomnia was diagnosed by the ISI as being a score of 8-28 (mild: 8-14; moderate-severe: 15-21; severe: 22-28). The patients were divided into group A (with insomnia, N=78) and group B (without insomnia, N=221) according to their ISI score three days after surgery. The general clinical data of the two groups were analyzed first, and then binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the risk factors of insomnia. RESULTS A total of 299 non-cardiac surgery patients with a mean age of 55 years were enrolled in the study. Of the included patients, the number of females was 165 and the number of the male was 134. The incidence of insomnia at 3 days postoperatively was 26.1% (78/299). The average points that group A patients scored in the ISI, PHQ-9, and the GAD-7 were significantly higher than those in group B. The VAS score three days after surgery was significantly higher in group A. The PHQ-9 and the GAD-7 three days after surgery showed significantly higher depression and anxiety scores in group A. Logistic regression showed that the ISI (p<0.001, 95% CI=1.218-1.500) and the GAD-7 (p=0.003, 95% CI=1.041-1.218) preoperatively, and the PHQ-9 postoperatively (p<0.001, 95% CI=1.226-1.555), were risk factors of insomnia. CONCLUSION Insomnia is common and can worsen after surgery. The present study suggests that depression and anxiety are risk factors for insomnia after surgery. There is a need for further research and the development of strategies for depression and anxiety management to ensure better sleep quality for patients, which will be of significant benefit to their health. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered at clinical trial (NCT04027751); Trial registration: clinical trial, NCT04027751.

Abstract
A bidirectional connection between sleep and cancer exists; however, the specific associations between individual sleep disorders and particular tumors are not very clear. An accurate assessment of sleep disorders in cancer patients is necessary to improve patient health, survival, response to therapy, quality of life, reduction of comorbidities/complications. Indeed, recent scientific evidence shows that knowledge and management of sleep disorders offer interesting therapeutic perspectives for the treatment of cancer. In light of this need, the objective of this review is to assess the evidence highlighted in the research of the last ten years on the correlation between each specific category of sleep disorder according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders 3rd Ed. and several types of tumor based on their anatomical location (head-neck, including the brain and thyroid; lung; breast; ovary; endometrium; testes; prostate; bladder; kidney; gastrointestinal tract, subdivided into: stomach, liver, colon, pancreas; skin; bone tumors; hematological malignancies: leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, polycythemia), in order to evaluate what is currently known about: 1) sleep disorders as cancer risk factor; 2) tumors associated with the onset of sleep disorders; 3) targeted therapies of sleep disorders in cancer patients and new oncological perspectives following the evaluation of sleep.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer pain (CP) is one of the common complications of cancer. During the treatment, oral medication, radiotherapy and chemotherapy bring certain adverse reactions to patients with CP; a safe way to treat this disease is necessary. Acupuncture and related therapies for CP with few side effects have been gradually accepted. But at present the evidence is insufficient, the related research is not thorough enough. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture and related therapies for CP. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines were used to design this protocol. The final study will also be conducted under the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analysis. An electronic search will be conducted in Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases through January 2020. The search will be conducted in English. Risk of bias will be assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration tool and the collected evidence will be nar-ratively synthesized. We will also perform a meta-analysis to pool estimates from studies considered to be homogenous. Subgroup analyses will be based on intervention or overall bias. The strength of evidence will be evaluated by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation scale. RESULTS This systematic review will summarize high quality clinical evidence to assess and appraise the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture and related therapies for CP patients. CONCLUSION The meta-analysis will assess evidence from randomized controlled trials of acupuncture and related therapies and CP types. INPLASY REGISTRATION NUMBER INPLASY202040129.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer-related insomnia (CRI) is one of the most prevalent complaints among cancer survivors and severely impairs patients' quality of life. As a popular non-pharmacological alternative treatment, acupuncture provides a good clinical curative effect on insomnia. The aim of this trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of electro-acupuncture on insomnia in patients with lung cancer. METHOD This is a protocol for a multicenter randomized single-blinded sham-controlled trial. We will randomly assign 252 eligible patients with lung cancer-related insomnia into two groups at a ratio of 1:1, the treatment group (EA) and the control group (sham EA). All treatment will be given 3 times per week for 8 weeks, and a 12-week follow-up will be conducted. The primary outcome will be measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The secondary outcomes will include sleep parameters recorded from the actigraphy, scores from Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (QLQ-C30), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). All adverse effects during the trial will be assessed by the Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS). All analyses will be based on ITT principle and performed with the statistical software SPSS (version 24.0) by t test, rank-sum test, chi-square, and so on. A two-sided significance level will be set at 5%. DISCUSSION This large-sample trial protocol will evaluate the efficacy of electro-acupuncture on insomnia in patients with lung cancer. This protocol, if proven to be effective, will contribute to filling the gap in treatment options in the CRI field and provide a promising intervention for insomnia in lung cancer survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep problems are frequent in cancer patients. Multiple questionnaires and one-item scales have been developed for measuring sleep quality. The aim of this study was to test the Jenkins Sleep Scale (JSS) in comparison with the one-item sleep scale of the quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), and to examine the relationship between sleep quality and age, gender, clinical variables, and several domains of quality of life. METHODS A sample of 1216 cancer patients who were treated in an oncological rehabilitation clinic were examined with the JSS, the EORTC QLQ-C30, and several other questionnaires (t1). Participants' sleep quality was then assessed a second time six months later (t2). RESULTS The cancer patients reported severe sleep problems, with t1 mean scores of 11.6 (JSS) and 51 (EORTC QLQ-C30 Sleep item). The reliability of the JSS was good (Cronbach's alpha = 0.84). Sleep problems were associated with gender (more problems in females), with several cancer treatment methods, and with all domains of quality of life. The JSS performed only marginally better than the EORTC QLQ-C30 Sleep item in detecting sleep problems. CONCLUSIONS Because of the high prevalence and the strong associations with all quality of life dimensions, sleep problems should be taken into account in cancer care. The one-item sleep instrument of the EORTC QLQ-C30 is sufficient for investigations conducted on a group level.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleep disturbances are common in cancer patients, but little is known about preoperative insomnia and its associated factors in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between preoperative insomnia and its associated factors (i.e., pain, anxiety, self-esteem, and coping styles) in CRC patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in consecutive CRC inpatients (N = 434), who were required to complete the questionnaires about insomnia, pain, anxiety, self-esteem, and coping styles (acceptance/resignation, confrontation, avoidance) before the day of surgery. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationships between preoperative anxiety and its associated factors. RESULTS Based on the cutoff value of Athens Insomnia Scale (scores ≥ 6) in Chinese cancer patients, the prevalence of insomnia was 38.2% before surgery. Pain (β = 0.087, p = 0.015) and anxiety (β = 0.372, p < 0.001) were positively associated with preoperative insomnia, while self-esteem (β = - 0.479, p < 0.001) and confrontation coping (β = - 0.124, p = 0.003) showed protective effects on preoperative insomnia when putting them together into hierarchical regression. The associated factors together accounted for an additional variance of preoperative insomnia (47.6%). CONCLUSIONS In line with previous findings, the detrimental effects of pain and anxiety on preoperative insomnia were also observed in our study. More importantly, our main new findings were that self-esteem and confrontation coping played important roles in alleviating preoperative insomnia among CRC patients. Clinicians should take these results into account when developing cancer care management to relieve preoperative insomnia.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Although insomnia is common among cancer patients, its prevalence remains variable, and its risk factors and correlation with other cancer-related symptoms are not fully explored in the literature. This study aims to determine the prevalence and severity of insomnia as well as risk factors and sleep-related symptom clusters in a sample of cancer patients. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted collecting data from 213 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (age = 53.1 ± 11.3 years, 60% female). Insomnia was measured using the Insomnia Severity Index, a sleep log, and Actigraph, while symptoms were assessed using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Quality of life was measured with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General. RESULTS Of the participants, 42.8% reported insomnia, with 31.9% of those with insomnia reporting severe insomnia. Insomnia occurrence and severity were not correlated with the participants' characteristics, cancer-related or treatment-related factors, only with the participants' anxiety/depression scores. Principal component analysis showed that insomnia, depression, and anxiety formed a symptom cluster (p < 0.001). There was no difference between sleep parameters measured by Actigraphy in insomnia and non-insomnia participants. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the prevalence of insomnia was high and indicated a symptom cluster of insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Therefore, interventions to reduce this symptom cluster may benefit cancer patients who are trying to manage these symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to examine the 12-month course of cancer-related insomnia (CRI) and to identify possible predictors for the prevalence and persistence of CRI. METHODS This longitudinal multicenter study included N = 405 patients with cancer (56% females, mean age: 58.6 years). CRI was measured by the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Socio-demographic and clinical data, as well as psychological parameters (Distress Thermometer, PHQ-9, GAD-7, and EORTC-Fatigue), were assessed at baseline (T1) and 12 months later (T2). RESULTS In our sample, a high prevalence of relevant insomnia symptoms (49.4%, ISI > 7) was found, while a clinical insomnia diagnosis was verified in 12.8% (ISI > 14). When insomnia was present at T1, this problem was persistent after one year in 64%. At T2, however, significantly more women suffered from insomnia symptoms (53.3% women vs. 39.3% men; p = 0.003). Insomnia was associated with many clinical and psychological parameters, especially with fatigue (r = 0.5). Multiple regression analysis revealed that, in women, only insomnia at T1 was a significant predictor for insomnia at T2 (R2 = 0.40; F(5) = 12.5; p < 0.001), whereas in men insomnia, depressive symptoms and the use of psychotropic drugs at T1 predicted the extent of insomnia at T2 (R2 = 0.28; F(7) = 9.5; p < 0.001). In all participants, levels of distress, depression, and anxiety decreased from T1 to T2 (p's < 0.016). CONCLUSION Insomnia is a common disorder in cancer patients. Although medical and psychological parameters improved during the 12-month course of cancer treatment, our results show that insomnia is highly persistent, especially in women. This indicates that adequate support for those affected is needed. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER DRKS00004860.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by bone pain, pathologic fractures, bone destruction, and secondary hypercalcemia, all these conditions impact on health-related quality of life of patients. The objective was to evaluate the global health state and health-related quality of life in a group of patients with MM who attended a tertiary health-care center of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social in Mexico, through the questionnaires designed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life group. Exploratory cross-sectional study in patients with MM treated in a Department of Hematology in a High-Specialty Medical Unit was conducted. Patients older than 18 years of age, men and women, were selected, and their informed written consent was obtained. We included all consecutive cases treated from January 2012 to December 2014. Questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-MY20, and EORTC IN-PATSAT-32 were used. We studied 37 patients, 19 (51%) men and 18 women. The mean age was 61.9 years. Twenty-two (59.46%) patients presented with clinical stage III. The mean time for diagnosis was 33.11 months. The most used first-line treatment schedule was melphalan/prednisone/thalidomide (15; 40%). The global health median was 66.67, and symptoms showed a median score of 22.22. Treatment side effects score was 16.67; for general satisfaction, the median score was 75. In conclusion, the patients showed an advanced clinical stage and poor prognosis but had scores higher than 50 in functional scales and lower than 50 for symptom scales. The scores for symptom scales were related to age, renal failure, and disease-free survival. Identification of quality of life and satisfaction of care markers allow for early therapeutic intervention and efficiency and enable a change in quality of life and perception of care in Health Services.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the high prevalence of insomnia in patients with advanced cancer, there are no randomized controlled trials on pharmacological interventions for insomnia in this group of patients. A variety of pharmacological agents is recommended to manage sleep disturbance for insomnia in the general population, but their efficacy and safety in adults with advanced cancer are not established. Thus, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of medications for insomnia in order to improve the evidence in patients with advanced cancer. One of the most used sleep medications at present in patients with cancer is zopiclone. METHODS This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter trial. A total of 100 patients with metastatic cancer who report insomnia will be randomly allocated to zopiclone or placebo. The treatment duration with zopiclone/placebo is 6 consecutive nights. The primary endpoint is patient-reported sleep quality during the final study night (night 6) assessed on a numerical rating scale of 0-10, where 0 = Best sleep and 10 = Worst possible sleep. Secondary endpoints include the mean patient-reported total sleep time and sleep onset latency during the final study night (night 6). DISCUSSION Results from this study on treatment of insomnia in advanced cancer will contribute to clinical decision-making and improve the treatment of sleep disturbance in this patient cohort.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective was to assess quality of life (QoL) in lung cancer survivors, compare it to the general population, and identify factors associated with global QoL, physical functioning, emotional functioning, fatigue, pain, and dyspnea. METHODS Data from NSCLC patients who had survived 1 year or longer after diagnosis were collected cross-sectionally in a multicenter study. QoL was assessed with the European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 and the lung cancer module QLQ-LC13 across different clinical subgroups and compared to age- and sex-standardized general population reference values. Multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to test the associations of patient-, tumor-, and treatment-related factors with the six primary QoL scales. RESULTS Six hundred fifty-seven NSCLC patients participated in the study with a median time since diagnosis of 3.7 years (range, 1.0-21.2 years). Compared to the age- and sex-standardized general population, clinically meaningful differences in the QoL detriment were found on almost all domains: lung cancer survivors had clinically relevant poorer global QoL (10 points, p < 0.001). Whereas in 12 months or longer treatment-free patients this detriment was small (8.3), it was higher in patients currently in treatment (16.0). Regarding functioning and symptom scales, respective detriments were largest for dyspnea (41 points), role function (33 points), fatigue (27 points), social function (27 points), physical function (24 points), and insomnia (21 points) observed across all subgroups. The main factor associated with poorer QoL in all primary QoL scales was mental distress (β |19-31|, all p < 0.001). Detriments in QoL across multiple primary QoL scales were also observed with current treatment (β |8-12|, p < 0.01), respiratory comorbidity (β |4-5|, p < 0.01), and living on a disability pension (β |10-11|, p < 0.01). The main factor associated with better QoL in almost all primary QoL scales was higher physical activity (β |10-20|, p < 0.001). Better QoL was also observed in patients with high income (β |10-14|, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Lung cancer survivors experience both functional restrictions and symptoms that persist long term after active treatment ends. This substantiates the importance of providing long-term supportive care.

Abstract
Cancer patients experience symptoms and adverse effects of treatments that may last even after the end of treatments. Exercise is a safe, non-pharmacological and cost-effective therapy that can provide several health benefits in cancer patient and survivors, reducing cancer symptoms and cancer treatment side effects. The purpose of this review is to describe how the physical exercise is capable to reduce cancer symptoms and cancer treatment side effects. We realized a pragmatic classification of symptoms, dividing them into physical, psychological and psycho-physical aspects. For each symptom we discuss causes, therapies, we analyse the effects of physical exercise and we summarize the most effective type of exercise to reduce the symptoms. This review also points out what are the difficulties that patients and survivors face during the practice of physical activity and provides some solutions to overcome these barriers. Related to each specific cancer, it emerges that type, frequency and intensity of physical exercise could be prescribed and supervised as a therapeutic program, like it occurs for the type, dose and duration of a drug treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with lung cancer report sleep difficulties to be frequent and bothersome symptoms. This study describes the trajectory of sleep from before and up to 12 months after surgery for lung cancer. Further, it investigates possible associations between sleep disturbance, demographic and clinical characteristics before surgery. METHODS This study is part of a longitudinal multicentre study. Sleep disturbance was measured by The General Sleep Disturbance Scale (GSDS) that investigates frequencies of sleep difficulties (21 items) and a total sum score ≥43 indicates a clinically meaningful level of sleep disturbance (score range 0-147). Linear mixed models were used to study changes in sleep from baseline to 1, 5, 9 and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS The percentage of patients (n = 264) reporting sleep disturbances was 60.9% at baseline, 68.5% at Month 1, 55.4% at Month 5, 51.3% at Month 9 and 49.7% at Month 12. The increase to and decrease from Month 1 was the only significant alteration in the occurrence of sleep disturbance. The patients reported most problems within the subscales sleep quantity, early awakenings and sleep quality. Factors associated with sleep disturbance were lower age, use of pain medication and psychotropic medication and higher comorbidity score. CONCLUSIONS Lung cancer patients sleep poorly, before as well as after surgery. There is a need to address sleeping disturbance routinely in clinical practice and screening for sleeping problems is indicated. Further studies are warranted concerning factors that contribute to sleep disturbance and how they best can be treated.

Abstract
The number of patients with breast cancer diagnosed with sleep disturbance has grown substantially within the United States over the past 20 years. Meanwhile, there have been significant improvements in the psychological treatment of sleep disturbance in patients with breast cancer. More specifically, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), mindfulness, and yoga have shown to be 3 promising treatments with varying degrees of benefit, supporting data, and inherent limitations. In this article, we will outline the treatment approach for sleep disturbance in patients with breast cancer and conduct a comprehensive review of CBT-I, mindfulness, and yoga as they pertain to this patient population.

Perceptions about cancer-related fatigue among cancer patients using Q methodology. Eur J Oncol Nurs 2015; 20:64-70. [PMID: 26059322 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejon.2015.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2014] [Revised: 03/24/2015] [Accepted: 03/27/2015] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a common subjective feeling and disabling symptom complex experienced by patients with cancer. This study aimed to identify the subjective perceptions of Korean patients with cancer about CRF to help the development of basic intervention strategies for these patients. METHODS Q methodology was used to examine the subjective perceptions of patients with cancer about CRF. Thirty-one patients with cancer, hospitalized at a university hospital in Seoul, Korea, were recruited into this study and classified 41 selected Q statements using a nine-point scale. Data were analysed using PC-QUANL for Windows. RESULTS Data analysis revealed that distinct perceptions about CRF do exist among Korean patients with cancer. Three types of perceptions were identified: dominant self-reliance, positive-conformist and self-deprecating exhaustion. These three types explained 53.0% of the variance (40.2%, 8.2% and 4.6%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study identified three types of perceptions about CRF among Korean patients with cancer. These findings provide baseline data to develop customised interventions for caring strategies. This study also informs health professionals in other countries about the perceptions of Korean patients with cancer about CRF.
