Randomized Controlled TrialThe Effect of Using an Electric Fan on Dyspnea in Chinese Patients With Terminal Cancer.
Fan therapy is often suggested for relieving the symptom of dyspnea in patients with advanced cancer, but relevant literature among Asians is limited. ⋯ The results of the study suggested that fan therapy could be effective in alleviating dyspnea in Chinese patients with advanced cancer.
