Cancer Supportive Therapy

About Cancer Supportive Therapy

Cancer supportive therapy encompasses a range of approaches designed to help manage the symptoms of cancer and side effects of cancer treatments, improve quality of life, and provide emotional support during the cancer journey. While not treating the cancer itself, these therapies work alongside conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery to help patients cope better with their condition and treatment process.

How Neurotherapy Helps

Neurotherapy offers valuable supportive approaches for individuals undergoing cancer treatment, focusing on symptom management and quality of life improvement: - Pain management: Brain-based approaches to reduce cancer-related pain and discomfort without additional medication - Nausea and appetite regulation: Techniques to help manage treatment-related nausea and improve nutritional intake - Sleep enhancement: Addresses the sleep disruption that commonly occurs during cancer treatment - Stress and anxiety reduction: Provides tools for managing the psychological impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment - Cognitive function support: Helps address 'chemo brain' and other cognitive effects of cancer treatment Research suggests that these neurotherapy approaches can significantly improve comfort and functioning during cancer treatment. It's important to note that neurotherapy is used as a complementary approach alongside conventional cancer treatments, not as an alternative. Many cancer centers now recognize the value of integrating these supportive approaches into comprehensive cancer care.
