NCT ID NCT07662629

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy to a structured exercise program can reduce joint and muscle pain caused by aromatase inhibitors in breast cancer survivors. Forty older survivors with pain will either do exercise alone or exercise plus daily hyperbaric oxygen sessions for two months. The goal is to see if the combination provides better pain relief than exercise alone.
