Can instant survey feedback improve breast surgery recovery talks?
NCT ID NCT06550401
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether it is practical to give women recovering from breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy with reconstruction immediate feedback from their recovery surveys. The tool, called BREAST-Q REACT, shows scores on physical well-being and arm function and offers tips for discussion with their doctor. Researchers will track how many patients join and complete the surveys to see if a larger study is possible.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BREAST-Q Real-time Engagement and Communication Tool (REACT) - a digital tool that shows patients their survey scores and provides guidance
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could pave the way for a larger study that helps patients and doctors better discuss recovery after breast surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study, not designed to prove any health benefits. It only tests whether the approach is practical, so results may not change care directly.
