Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a prevalent and debilitating symptom experienced by cancer survivors, yet treatment options for CRF are limited. Our study evaluated the efficacy of weekly Swedish Massage Therapy (SMT) vs. an active control condition (light touch, LT) and waitlist control (WLC) on persistent CRF in breast cancer survivors. This early phase randomized, single-masked, 6-week investigation of SMT, LT and WLC enrolled 66 female Stage 0-III breast cancer survivors age 32–72 who had received surgery plus radiation and/or chemotherapy/chemoprevention with CRF (Brief Fatigue Inventory > 25). The primary outcome was the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI), with the NIH PROMIS Fatigue scale secondary. Mean baseline MFI scores for 57 evaluable subjects were 62.95 for SMT, 55.00 for LT, and 60.41 for WLC. SMT resulted in a mean (sd) 6-week reduction in MFI total scores of −16.50 (6.37) (N=20), compared to −8.06 (6.50) for LT (N=20) and an increase of 5.88 (6.48) points for WLC (N=17) (treatment-by-time P<0.0001). Mean baseline PROMIS Fatigue scores were: SMT 22.25; LT 22.05 and WLC 23.24. Mean (sd) reduction in PROMIS Fatigue scores was −5.49 (2.53) points for SMT, compared to −3.24 (2.57) points for LT and −0.06 (1.88) points for WLC (treatment-by-time P=0.0008). Higher credibility, expectancy, and preference for SMT than for LT did not account for these results. SMT produced clinically significant relief of CRF. This suggests that 6 weeks of a safe, widely accepted manual intervention causes a significant reduction in fatigue, a debilitating sequela for cancer survivors.
