NCT ID NCT02735668
First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a combination of physiotherapy techniques—including exercises, dry needling, and nerve treatments—works better than exercise alone for women with long-term shoulder pain after breast cancer treatment. 90 women who had pain for at least 6 months after surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy took part. The goal was to see which approach best reduces pain, improves daily function, and boosts quality of life.
