Want to add:
“Cancer-related fatigue is a symptom of fatigue that is experienced by nearly all cancer patients”. [1]
“Some management strategies may help all patients and could be supported by the work of an Occupational Therapist. These include scheduling high-priority tasks during the patient's best time of day, using labor-saving devices, delegating tasks to caregivers, and avoiding unimportant activities, so that the patient will have more energy available for other activities”. [2]
“Pain, difficulty breathing, and fatigue form a common symptom cluster. Fatigue often increases as patients with advanced cancer approach death. As a result, people who are dying often sleep much more than a healthy person”. [3][4]
While antidepressants are ineffective at reducing fatigue in non-depressed cancer patients, psychostimulants such as methylphenidate and amphetamines may reduce fatigue in some patients. [ADD ONTO THIS EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENCE FOR THOSE WHO DO FACE EXACERBATED SYMPTOMS DUE TO MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AND THE SCREENING FOR THIS]
The findings of a study conducted by researchers from reputable universities in the UK indicate that methylphenidate may be effective in the management of CRF (Cancer Related Fatigue). If methylphenidate were to be used in patients with CRF, it would be prudent to restrict its use to patients with advanced disease or for short-term use in patients on active treatment. The clear advantage of methylphenidate in cancer is its rapid onset of action within 24-48 hours, and so the drug can be discontinued if ineffective. [5]
Added:
Forms of exercise that have been proven to be most effective are more aerobic exercises such as walking, running, cycling, and swimming. These forms of activity can be done at various levels of intensity and have been proven as an effective way of improving QOL for cancer patients.
Patients who are not at the end of life may benefit from physical exercise or physical therapy. Engaging in physical activity may reduce fatigue.[6][7][8][9] Forms of exercise that have been proven to be most effective are more aerobic exercise such as walking, running, cycling, and swimming. These forms of activity can be done at all different levels of intensity and have been proven as an effective way of improving QOL for cancer patients.[10]
While antidepressants are ineffective at reducing fatigue in non-depressed cancer patients, psychostimulants such as methylphenidate and amphetamines may reduce fatigue in some patients.[6][11][12][13][14]
