TAI CHI EFFECTS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 目的：评价太极拳(TCC)与教育对照(EC)对乳腺癌失眠患者睡眠潜伏期、总睡眠时间和睡眠效率的客观(多导睡眠图，PSG)和主观(睡眠日记)测量，失眠症状和睡眠质量的问卷测量，疲劳和健康功能的影响。 目的2：比较TCC和EC对促炎细胞因子活性(如IL-6)的影响。 目的3：评估在治疗试验过程中，乳腺癌患者失眠患者血液中促炎症细胞因子(如IL-6)的循环水平是否与睡眠持续时间相关。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Aim 1: Evaluate the effects of Tai Chi Chih (TCC) vs. Education Control (EC on objective (polysomnographic, PSG) and subjective (sleep diary) measures of sleep latency, total sleep time and sleep efficiency; questionnaire measures of insomnia symptoms and quality of sleep; fatigue; and health functioning in breast cancer survivors with insomnia. Aim 2: Determine the effects of TCC vs. EC on measures of proinflammatory cytokine activity (e.g., IL-6). Aim 3: Evaluate whether circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6) temporally correlate with measures of sleep continuity in breast cancer survivors with insomnia over the course of the treatment trial.
