Neck exercise study for breast cancer survivors pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT02825810
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if a tailored neck exercise program could improve motor control, reduce pain, and boost mood and quality of life in women who survived breast cancer for at least five years. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected. It remains unknown whether the program would have been helpful.
