What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether starting upper limb rehabilitation exercises one day before breast cancer surgery can reduce the risk and severity of arm lymphedema (swelling) after surgery. Half of the participants will receive individualized exercise instruction, while the other half gets standard nursing education. Researchers will track arm circumference, physical function, quality of life, and care needs over a year to see if the pre-surgery exercise makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Preoperative upper limb rehabilitation exercise
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple exercise program could become a standard pre-surgery practice to reduce arm swelling and improve recovery and quality of life for breast cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 105 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The exercise may not significantly reduce lymphedema, and adherence or individual variation could affect outcomes.
