A gentle jog might be the key to better sleep for breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07757763
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a 12-week slow jogging program can help breast cancer survivors sleep better, feel less tired, and enjoy a better quality of life. Women who have finished primary treatment for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer will either jog slowly three times a week or continue with their usual care. Researchers will track sleep quality, fatigue, and overall well-being over three months to see if this gentle 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
- Slow jogging exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If effective, slow jogging could become a simple, accessible way to improve sleep and reduce fatigue in breast cancer survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all survivors. The benefits of slow jogging are not yet proven, and some participants may find it hard to stick with the program.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria 1. Female breast cancer survivors aged 20 years or older. 2. Histologically confirmed hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (Stage I-IV) and considered suitable for exercise intervention by the treating physician. 3. Completed primary cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy) within the previous 12 months; participants receiving ongoing anti-HER2 targeted therapy and/or endocrine therapy are eligible. 4. Able to independently operate a smartphone and willing to install and use the study application. 5. Self-reported sleep disturbance within the previous two weeks, defined as a Single-item Sleep Quality Scale (SQS) score ≥ 6. 6. Willing to participate and provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria 1. History of cancer treatment-related cardiovascular complications or judged by the treating physician to be unsuitable for exercise. 2. Musculoskeletal disorders affecting lower-extremity function (e.g., plantar fasciitis, knee osteoarthritis, ankle degenerative disease) that limit exercise participation. 3. Currently participating in another structured moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise program (≥3 sessions/week, ≥30 minutes/session for ≥3 consecutive weeks). 4. Any other medical or psychological condition judged by the investigator to interfere with safe participation or completion of the study.
