Summary
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can prevent muscle and joint pain caused by the acne medication isotretinoin. Researchers will enroll 160 people aged 18-35 who are starting isotretinoin for the first time. Half will follow an 18-week exercise plan; the other half will not. The study measures pain levels and quality of life to see if exercise helps.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could give people on isotretinoin a simple, drug-free way to avoid painful side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no blinding, so results may be biased. Exercise may not help everyone, and the program requires a significant time commitment.
