Around 1 in 5 people diagnosed with cancer in the UK take part in a clinical trial.
This study looked at a computer active video game to help people get back to a normal life after having cancer and cancer treatment.
The research team had hoped to recruit about 60 people to this study. But part way through the trial, the hospital taking part changed the way it worked and began referring people to a specific exercise programme. So they were only able to recruit 8 people, 4 people in each group.
The research team found that people in both groups had positive changes in body image and quality of life. But they didn’t have enough information to do a detailed analysis. They don’t plan to publish the results of the study.
