Summary:
This clinical trial evaluates an online Tai Chi intervention to promote smoking cessation
among cancer survivors. Tai chi is a practice that involves a series of slow gentle
movements and physical postures, a meditative state of mind, and controlled breathing. It
is a gentle form of exercise that can be done while sitting or standing and does not
involve any medications or medical procedures. Tai chi originated as an ancient martial
art in China. Over the years, it has become more focused on health promotion and
rehabilitation. The use of Tai Chi may be beneficial for cancer patients who want to quit
smoking.
Detailed description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the feasibility of the Tai Chi intervention to promote smoking cessation
among cancer survivors.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Collect preliminary RCT data on the efficacy of our Tai Chi intervention for the
potential of scaling up to a more extensive study.
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Participants receive access to the online WaQi program to practice Tai Chi
supervised and home-based over 8 weeks. Participants also receive standard cessation
treatment that includes a prescription or recommendation for nicotine replacement therapy
(NRT) and undergo carbon monoxide (CO) testing on study.
ARM II: Participants receive standard cessation treatment that includes a prescription or
recommendation for NRT and undergo CO testing on study. Participants also receive an
8-week online Tai Chi self-administered teaching module subscription at the end of the
study.
