Research-old | Fatigue Clinic

Current studies

The NSW Cancer Survivors Centre
All clients of the NSW Cancer Survivors Centre will be offered the opportunity to become part of a cohort of survivors, to enable us to better describe the unique issues faced by this important group and factors that may predispose some to increased risks of problems after cancer treatment. PI: Prof Andrew Lloyd

Treatment of Post-cancer fatigue Study (TOPS)
A randomised controlled trial evaluating a 12-week graded exercise therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy intervention compared to education for persistent fatigue states after early breast and colon cancer treatment. PI: Prof Andrew Lloyd

Cancer Survivors Preferences Survey
A mailed survey to cancer survivors to describe the care they are currently receiving after cancer treatment, areas that they feel are not well addressed by current services and their opinions on alternative models of care for survivors. PI: Prof Afaf Girgis

Cancer survivorship care plan study
A pilot study to evaluate the utility of survivorship care plans (with or without a focused survivorship consultation) after early breast and colon cancer treatment compared to usual care, and the impact of Survivorship Care Plans on outcomes. PI: Dr Kate Webber

Join a research study

By participating in research, you can support the UNSW Fatigue Clinic to achieve our mission of finding new and better ways to care for other sufferers of chronic fatigue now and into the future. If you are a sufferer of chronic fatigue and are interested in joining one of our research studies either now or in the future, please complete the contact form and and you will be added to our database.

Providing us with your details will not mean it is compulsory for you to participate in a study. For each study you are deemed eligible we will contact you with information about the study and you can then decide if you would like to participate or not.
