What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study follows women undergoing breast cancer surgery to see how often they develop axillary web syndrome (AWS), also known as cording—tight, painful cords under the arm that can limit movement. Researchers will examine participants before surgery and at several points over six months, checking for cords, measuring shoulder mobility, pain, and arm swelling. The goal is to identify risk factors and timing of AWS, so that rehabilitation can start earlier for those most likely to be affected.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Axillary surgery (sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify which patients are more likely to develop cording after breast cancer surgery, allowing earlier rehabilitation and better arm function.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients, and the condition's variability could make findings less definitive.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Consecutive patients undergoing surgery for breast cancer with axillary staging by sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection at the general surgery departments of the two participating centers. Patients who develop axillary web syndrome and those who do not are compared within the same cohort; no separate control group is enrolled.

Ages

18 to 80 years

Sex

Female participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older * Diagnosis of breast cancer with planned surgical treatment * Axillary staging performed by sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection * Written informed consent provided Exclusion Criteria: * Preoperative restriction of shoulder range of motion * History of neuromuscular disease affecting the upper extremity * Metastatic disease * Anticipated inability to comply with the follow-up protocol
