Mind over matter: can imagining movement heal shoulders after mastectomy?

NCT ID NCT07240129

Summary

This study is testing whether a technique called 'graded motor imagery' can help women who have shoulder pain and stiffness after breast cancer surgery. It involves 54 women who will either receive standard physical therapy alone or standard therapy plus mental exercises where they imagine moving their shoulder. The goal is to see if this mind-based approach helps reduce pain and improve arm movement more effectively.
