New therapy tested to ease painful arm cords after breast cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT07266623

Summary

This study aims to find out which of two physical therapy approaches works better for women experiencing painful, rope-like cords and stiffness in their arm after breast cancer surgery (mastectomy). Fifty-eight women will be randomly assigned to receive either a standard muscle energy technique or that same technique plus an additional manual traction method for six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain, shoulder movement, and daily function to see if the combined approach provides greater relief.
