Background:

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) significantly impacts quality-of-life (QOL) for cancer survivors.
Exercise-based therapies are recommended for CRF management over pharmaceutical options.
Remote delivery of interventions may enhance accessibility for individuals with CRF.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the feasibility of a remotely delivered Baduanjin mind-body exercise (MBE) program for individuals experiencing CRF.
To assess recruitment, enrollment, retention, and adherence rates for a home-based Baduanjin MBE program.
To gather preliminary data on the safety and potential clinical outcomes of remote Baduanjin MBE for CRF.

Main Methods:

A randomized wait-list controlled pilot study involving 40 adults with moderate CRF.
Participants completed an 8-week home-based Baduanjin MBE program with online support.
Feasibility outcomes included recruitment, retention, adherence, and safety; clinical outcomes (CRF, QOL) were assessed pre- and post-intervention.

Main Results:

This is the first study to examine the feasibility and effects of remote Baduanjin MBE for CRF.
Feasibility data on recruitment, adherence, and safety were collected.
Clinical outcomes related to CRF and QOL were assessed at multiple time points.

Conclusions:

The feasibility data from this pilot study will inform the design of a larger, fully powered clinical trial.
Remote delivery of Baduanjin MBE shows promise as an accessible intervention for managing CRF.
Further research is warranted to confirm the efficacy of Baduanjin MBE in improving QOL for cancer survivors with CRF.
