This paper is a protocol for a randomised feasibility trial in women with gynaecology cancer. It will compare the feasibility and effects of mindfulness alone versus exercise combined with mindfulness on symptoms like fatigue.
This is a protocol for a randomised feasibility trial (GEMS) for women with gynaecology cancer. The trial will randomize participants into two groups: mindfulness only or exercise plus mindfulness, delivered via a mobile app over 8 weeks. The primary aim is to assess feasibility outcomes such as recruitment, adherence, and retention. Secondary patient-reported outcomes include fatigue, quality of life, mood, and sleep, measured using validated scales (e.g., FACIT-F, FACT-G, HADS, PSQI). The discussion notes that fatigue is a persistent symptom and that combining interventions like mindfulness and exercise may have additive benefits, but there is little prior research on simultaneous delivery.
