  Purpose: Cancer-related fatigue is a prevalent, debilitating condition that can persist for months or years after treatment. In a single-arm clinical trial, the feasibility and safety of a time-restricted eating (TRE) intervention were evaluated among cancer survivors, and initial estimates of withinperson change in cancer-related fatigue were obtained. Methods: Participants were 4-60 months post-cancer treatment, were experiencing fatigue (≥ 3 on a scale 0-10), and were not following TRE. TRE entailed limiting all food and beverages to a self-selected 10-h window for 14 days.

This study was pre-registered at clinica.. Read More»
