A service evaluation at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester, England, has shown the benefit of rapid stress management techniques (RSMTs) to help cancer patients who experience 'procedure-related' stress.

Cancer patients benefit from stress relief techniques and complementary therapy to manage their fears of medical procedures, according to a newservice evaluation study.

Patients experiencing distress related to medical procedures were able to achieve a 'calm state' both before and during procedures as a result of the interventions. Those who took part were positive about the experience.
