Exercise after breast reconstruction: a new path to faster recovery?
NCT ID NCT07672392
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a structured 12-week exercise program can improve fitness and recovery in women who have had DIEP flap breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Half of the 78 participants will follow the exercise program, while the other half will receive standard care. The goal is to see if exercise helps women regain strength, endurance, and quality of life after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
structured 12-week exercise programme (aerobic, resistance, flexibility training)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make a structured exercise program standard care for breast reconstruction patients, helping them recover faster and feel better after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 78 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise after surgery also carries a small risk of injury or strain.
