What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to manage chronic pain in cancer survivors, reducing reliance on opioids.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 9 participants, so results may not apply widely. The exercise program may be too demanding for some veterans.
