Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how many patients with advanced,
recurrent, incurable cervical cancer will complete questionnaires about symptoms, any
anxiety, depression, and/or pain, and the quality of their lives. Researchers also want to
learn how many of these patients will complete a study treatment of propranolol hydrochloride
and relaxation and guided imagery sessions.
Researchers also want to learn if and how propranolol hydrochloride and relaxation and guided
imagery may affect cancer symptoms and any anxiety, depression, and/or pain, and quality of
life.
Propranolol hydrochloride is designed to block certain chemicals that affect the heart.
Relaxation and guided imagery sessions are a form of relaxing meditation that involves
tensing and relaxing various parts of your body from your feet to your head. In the guided
imagery portion, you listen to recordings that are designed to help with calmness, control,
and decreasing stress.
