This trial involved 60 patients. The
physiotherapy programme included active exercises, myofascial release
and PNF techniques and was found to have beneficial effects on cancer related fatigue and other symptoms in
patients with advanced cancer who received palliative care. The authors conclude that the results suggest physiotherapy is a safe and effective method of CRF management.
