NCT ID NCT07500038

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

Summary

This completed study tested a culturally adapted program to help breast cancer patients manage joint and muscle pain caused by hormone therapy. 289 women on aromatase inhibitors received either the tailored program (health education, monitoring, and nursing guidance) or standard care. Researchers measured changes in joint function and how well the program was adopted in real-world clinics.

Active substance

Culturally Adapted EBP Program (behavioral intervention: health education, monitoring, nursing guidance)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a practical, culturally sensitive way to help breast cancer patients manage joint pain and stiffness caused by hormone therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a completed implementation study, not a treatment trial. The program may not reduce symptoms significantly more than standard care, and results may not apply to all cultural groups.
