Impact of Cardiac Coherence on Anxiety in Patients Operated on for a Peritoneal Carcinosis

Implementation of a Cardiac Coherence Program to Reduce Anxiety in Patients With Peritoneal Carcinosis Treated by Surgery: Randomized Pilot Study


Sponsor

Institut du Cancer de Montpellier - Val d'Aurelle

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Sep 21, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The investigator proposes to use the cardiac coherence technique to diminish anxiety before the surgery of a peritoneal carcinosis of colon or stomach or ovary and pseudomyxoma or peritoneal mesothelioma.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether a breathing technique called cardiac coherence (slow, rhythmic breathing that synchronizes heartbeat and breath) can reduce anxiety in patients about to undergo major surgery to remove cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal carcinosis). The technique is simple, drug-free, and can be done in minutes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 years old - You have peritoneal carcinosis and are waiting for cytoreductive surgery (surgery to remove as much cancer as possible from the abdomen) - You are experiencing meaningful anxiety (score above 3 on an anxiety visual scale) - You speak French well enough to understand instructions - You are hospitalized the day before your surgery **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You already regularly practice cardiac coherence breathing - You have a diagnosed psychiatric disorder (such as psychosis or bipolar disorder) - You do not understand French - You are not affiliated with the French social security system Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERCardiac coherence

An initiation session to cardiac coherence will take place D-11 before the operation (during the surgical consultation) in order to obtain a breathing rate of 6 cycles/min via a free application (Respirelax) with listening to an audio tape. 3 cardiac coherence sessions per day of 5 min (before meals) during the 11 days preceding the operation. \- The program cardiac coherence will be performed during 90 days after the surgery
