NCT ID NCT07763080
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a specific shoulder exercise, called the reverse fly, can help women who have shoulder tendon pain after a mastectomy and while taking aromatase inhibitors. The study will include 40 women aged 50 to 70 who have had a unilateral mastectomy and are on this hormone therapy. Researchers will measure tendon thickness and functional ability to see if the exercise improves shoulder health.
