First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a device that delivers targeted sound waves (shockwave therapy) can reduce hard scar tissue that sometimes forms after breast surgery. Researchers will enroll 100 adults who have firmness in their breast tissue after plastic surgery. They will measure changes in scar size and pain over time. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to improve recovery and comfort.
