Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a completed but unpublished interventional study comparing Tai Chi Chih to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for chronic insomnia in breast cancer survivors, with planned assessment of insomnia symptoms, daytime impairment, fatigue, depression, and immune markers over 5 years. No results are posted in this registry record; the study's findings remain unreported.

Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
Once results are published, this study may provide evidence on whether Tai Chi Chih is effective for insomnia and associated symptoms in cancer survivors and whether immune mechanisms (proinflammatory cytokines) mediate treatment response. Clinicians should await the full report before incorporating findings into practice.
This is a completed trial registration with no results posted; the study design and planned outcomes are documented but no efficacy data are reported in this registry record.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00690196). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 90 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Sleep Disorders, Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders, Dyssomnias, Mental Disorders, Nervous System Diseases. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Tai Chi Chih; BEHAVIORAL: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Primary outcome measures: Changes in insomnia symptoms as measured by subjective report and objective polysomnography; Changes in daytime impairment secondary to insomnia; Changes in fatigue, depression and mood, and health function , 5 years. Brief summary: Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women. After completion of successful therapy, may behavioral symptoms persist with over 20% of breast cancer survivors reporting chronic insomnia of greater than 6 months duration that fulfils clinical diagnostic criteria with associated functional limitations, decreased quality of life, and possible effects on long-term survival. Behavioral interventions are highly efficacious in the treatment of insomnia and preferred over hypnotic medication when insomnia is chronic. However, insomnia studies conducted in cancer are scarce. The proposed research builds upon program of study that has examined the efficacy of mind-body intervention, Tai Chi Chih (TCC), on health outcomes including sleep impairments. Preliminary studies show that TTC, a slow moving meditation, contributes to improvement in subjective sleep quality, sleep amounts and sleep efficiency. The investigators have further found that sleep, fatigue and proinflammatory cytokine activity are reciprocally related and that TCC decreases the mechanism through TCC carries its effects on sleep outcomes.
