Summary

This study looks at whether using a Fitbit activity tracker along with health coaching can help reduce persistent pain and improve well-being in young Hispanic women who had breast cancer surgery. The trial will enroll 25 women who have had surgery at least six months ago and still have moderate to severe pain. The main goal is to see if this approach is feasible and safe, while also measuring changes in pain and quality of life.
