Summary

This study tests ScarWork, a light-touch manual therapy, for women with ongoing breast pain after early-stage breast cancer surgery and radiotherapy. About 40 participants will either continue usual care or receive up to five ScarWork sessions. Researchers want to see if the therapy is practical in an NHS setting and whether it reduces pain and improves quality of life.
