New Laser-Guided therapy aims to restore shoulder function in breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07542106
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding visual biofeedback to standard physiotherapy improves shoulder mobility, strength, and function in women who had breast cancer surgery. Forty women with shoulder problems after surgery will be randomly assigned to either conventional physiotherapy or the same program plus a laser-based visual feedback system. The goal is to see if the biofeedback approach leads to better recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Visual biofeedback using the MotionGuidance system
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a more effective way to restore shoulder function after breast cancer surgery, helping women regain strength and mobility faster.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added benefit of biofeedback over standard physiotherapy may be small or absent.
