First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a gentle shoulder pull (manual axial distraction) to muscle stretching exercises can better relieve pain and improve movement in women with axillary web syndrome after breast cancer surgery. Fifty-eight women aged 30 to 60 will be split into two groups: one doing only muscle energy techniques, the other adding manual distraction. Both groups will receive treatment for six weeks, and researchers will measure pain, range of motion, and daily function.
