P02.106. Eurhythmy Therapy in the aftercare of children and adolescents with brain tumors of the posterior fossa: a pilot study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose The side effects and sequelae related to anti-tumor therapy regularly result in extensive physical, psychosocial and mental impairments in the life of children after therapy of a brain tumor. Although some supportive therapies are available, there are still numerous unsolved chronic problems. Therefore innovative additional therapeutic approaches from the field of complementary medicine should also be evaluated. This pilot study is a first orienting attempt to assess the feasibility, treatment adherence and impact of Eurythmy Therapy (EYT) in pediatric oncology. EYT is a movement therapy that belongs to the field of Mind-Body Therapies (MBTs). This holistic approach aims to promote self regulation and self-healing powers, e.g. in cancer patients.
