NCT ID NCT04001751
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a yoga program done at home and in group sessions is practical for breast cancer patients on hormone therapy who have joint pain. 24 patients were asked to follow daily home yoga and attend 6 sessions with a therapist. The goal was to see if patients would stick with the program and to gather early data on pain and quality of life for a future larger study.
