NCT ID NCT07068347
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) games, combined with lifestyle changes like walking and better sleep, can improve arm function in women who had breast cancer surgery. Sixty female survivors aged 30-60 will be randomly assigned to VR therapy or conventional physical therapy, with or without lifestyle advice. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain, improves movement, and boosts quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Virtual reality (VR) therapy and lifestyle modification (walking, diet, sleep habits)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more engaging and effective way to improve arm function and quality of life for breast cancer survivors after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The VR approach is still experimental and may not prove better than standard physical therapy.
