New study probes hidden muscle pain in breast cancer patients with arm swelling
NCT ID NCT06012786
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed observational study looked at 110 breast cancer patients to see if arm swelling (lymphedema) is linked to a specific type of muscle pain called myofascial pain syndrome. Researchers examined trigger points in key muscles and measured pain thresholds. The goal was to understand how these conditions affect arm function and quality of life.
