EnergyPoints App for Cancer-Related Fatigue and Sleep Issues
This study is testing a mobile app called EnergyPoints to see if it can help cancer survivors manage fatigue and sleep problems. The app guides you through self-acupressure, which involves applying pressure to specific points on your body. Researchers want to see if using the app daily for six weeks can reduce fatigue and improve sleep. You might be able to join if you've had cancer, have moderate fatigue, are at least 18 years old, and can read and speak English. The study is looking for 180 participants and will compare two groups to see how well the app works.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 180 participants. Participants will be assigned by chance to one of two groups.
- What's involved
- You would use the EnergyPoints app daily for 6 weeks, wear a Fitbit 24/7 (except for certain activities), answer questions on the app and online, and complete a questionnaire and online interview at the end of the study.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your fatigue and sleep will be measured weekly for 7 or 13 weeks, and daily for 7 or 13 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Fatigue self-report 1Baseline and Weekly for 7 or 13 weeks
Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue 7a, a standardized measure of fatigue, yields a T score. A T score is a standardized measure on a 0 to 100 scale. The mean is 50 and SD is 10. Higher results indicate more fatigue.
- Fatigue self-report 2Daily for 7 or 13 weeks
Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) single item of fatigue intensity on a 1 to 5 scale. A higher score indicates more fatigue.
- Sleep Self-Report 1Baseline and Weekly for 7 or 13 weeks
Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sleep Disturbances 8b, a standardized measure of sleep, yields a T score. A T score is a standardized measure on a 0 to 100 scale. The mean is 50 and SD is 10. Higher results indicate more sleep disturbance.
- Sleep Self-Report 2Daily for 7 or 13 weeks
Single item measure of overall sleep quality on a scale of 1 to 5. A higher score indicates better sleep quality.
- Global HealthBaseline and Weekly for 7 or 13 weeks
Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health V1.2.10, a standardized measure of health and functioning, includes a physical health and mental health subscale, yielding a T score for each. A T score is a standardized measure on a 0 to 100 scale. The mean is 50 and SD is 10. Higher results indicate better physical or mental health.
- Measures of Activity: Step CountDaily for 7 or 13 weeks
Fitbit is worn 24/7 and data are synched via the EnergyPoints app. The measure is number of steps in a 24 hour period and the range is 0 to maximum steps.
- Measures of Sleep: Sleep efficiencyDaily for 7 or 13 weeks
Fitbit is worn 24/7 and data are synched via the EnergyPoints app. Sleep efficiency is calculated by the percent of time asleep while in bed.
