Could oxygen therapy ease cancer drug pain?
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.
