New program eases joint pain for breast cancer survivors on hormone pills
NCT ID NCT06106282
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special pain program for breast cancer survivors who have joint and muscle pain from taking aromatase inhibitors (hormone therapy). The program combined education, coping skills, and gentle movement to help reduce pain, improve mood, and make it easier to stick with the cancer medication. 105 women with early-stage breast cancer who had been on the pills for at least 6 months took part.
