Digital exercise program aims to boost recovery for breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07676591
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a 12-week program called EmpowerHer that combines home-based exercise via a mobile app with weekly in-person group sessions. It aims to improve health-related quality of life, reduce fatigue, anxiety, and depression, and increase physical fitness in breast cancer survivors aged 35 to 65. Researchers compare the program to usual medical care across five European countries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EmpowerHer Hybrid Program (exercise and education via app and group sessions)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical, scalable way to improve quality of life, reduce fatigue, and boost fitness for breast cancer survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial (147 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply to all survivors. The program requires smartphone access and willingness to attend group sessions, which may limit participation.
