New telehealth program aims to boost activity in breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06671730
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests an 8-week telehealth occupational therapy program designed to help breast cancer survivors increase physical activity after breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy. The program is delivered via Zoom and focuses on each survivor's preferred activities. Researchers will enroll 38 survivors to see if the program is acceptable, useful, and feasible.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- telehealth-based occupational therapy program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a convenient way for breast cancer survivors to safely increase physical activity and improve their well-being after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to all survivors. The program relies on self-reported activity and may not lead to lasting changes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. ≥18 years old. 2. Ability to speak/read English. 3. Ability to provide informed consent. 4. Having ever received a histologically confirmed diagnosis of invasive breast carcinoma. 5. Having undergone breast conserving surgery or mastectomy for BC in the last 24 months. 6. Owning a smartphone and/or computer with internet access. 7. Willing to participate in once-weekly telehealth-delivered OT sessions for eight weeks. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation as primary cancer treatment. 2. Planning or preparing for surgery as primary treatment or as a reconstruction procedure in the next 3 months. 3. Presence of distant metastasis. 4. Reporting a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (2017 PAR-Q+) score that indicates PA may potentially be unsafe, unless the participant produces a signed doctor's note. We will define 2017 PAR-Q+ scores as indicating that PA may potentially be unsafe as responding "Yes" to any of the follow-up questions except \[1\] if the individual indicates that they have high blood pressure but subsequent responses indicate that both they do not have problems keeping it under control and that their resting blood pressure is less than 160/90 mmHg, and \[2\] if the individual indicates that they have a metabolic condition but subsequent responses indicate that they do not have problems controlling their blood sugar levels, do not any experience signs or symptoms of hypoglycemia, and do not have any signs of symptoms of listed diabetes complications). 5. Already engaging in ≥ 75 min/week of vigorous-intensity PA, ≥ 150 min/week of moderate-intensity PA, or an equivalent combination of both over the last 3 months. 6. Being a prisoner, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant. 7. Currently participating in another PA- or OT-based study, or seeking physical therapy or occupational therapy treatment.
