- NCT06144164RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Surgery
This trial tests a comprehensive prevention program to reduce lymphedema—a swelling in the arm—after breast cancer surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you qualify, you'll learn special exercises and care steps to lower your risk.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06092892RecruitingPhase 2
Upfront targeted lymph node removal for early breast cancer
This trial is for women age 45 and older with early ER-positive breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm. It tests a surgery approach where the main tumor and only a few key lymph nodes (rather than many) are removed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 45 years+ - NCT05890677Recruiting
Surgery versus conservative care for chronic breast-related arm swelling
This trial compares microsurgery to standard conservative therapy for long-lasting arm swelling caused by prior breast cancer. It may help people who still have swelling despite months of decongestive treatment by improving quality of life.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05366699Recruiting
Procedure to help prevent arm swelling after breast surgery
This trial studies a new procedure meant to lower the chance of getting lymphedema (arm swelling) after breast cancer surgery that removes lymph nodes in the armpit. It may help patients reduce the risk of long-term arm swelling, especially after lymph node dissection.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT01521741Recruiting
Breast cancer lymphedema screening to detect early swelling
This trial looks at whether scheduled measurements can spot early swelling (lymphedema) in people with breast cancer. It may help find problems sooner so treatment or prevention steps can start earlier.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05142800Recruiting
Screening for Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Targeted Therapy
This study is looking at whether targeted therapy for breast cancer changes the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema). It is a screening trial that uses a machine to measure arm size and check for any swelling early on.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT03941756Recruiting
Lymph bypass before underarm node surgery to prevent swelling
This study looks at whether adding a lymph “bypass” procedure before underarm lymph node surgery can lower the chance of arm or chest swelling (lymphedema) after cancer treatment. It compares people having lymph node surgery for breast cancer with plans for radiation, and a melanoma comparison group.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02743858Recruiting
Watch swelling study after breast lymph node surgery
This study looks at how and when swelling (lymphedema) happens after breast cancer surgery on the armpit lymph nodes. You may be followed closely after your planned one-sided procedure to better understand who gets swelling and how it changes over time.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07743294Recruiting
Exercise before breast cancer surgery to reduce arm swelling
This trial tests whether doing specific exercises before breast cancer surgery helps reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) after surgery, and improves quality of life and care needs. You would participate in a supervised exercise program before your surgery and then follow up after.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07542106Recruiting
Visual Biofeedback vs. Standard Therapy After Breast Cancer Surgery
This study compares a new visual biofeedback program (using real-time visual feedback to guide exercises) with standard physical therapy to help restore shoulder movement, strength, and function in women recovering from breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see which approach helps patients regain mobility and reduce pain more effectively.
Badajoz, BadajozAges 18 years+ - NCT07377279Recruiting
Acupuncture and compression to prevent nerve pain from chemo
This trial tests whether acupuncture and compression therapy can prevent nerve damage caused by taxane chemotherapy in early-stage breast cancer. It aims to reduce numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04606030Recruiting
Tested lymph surgery for breast-cancer–related arm swelling
This trial studies a specialized lymph surgery (called VLNT, moving lymph tissue) to treat swelling in an arm caused by breast cancer treatment. It may help reduce lymphedema that doesn’t fully improve with compression and elevation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT07067710Recruiting
Imagery and movement study for breast cancer survivors
This study tests if visualizing and watching movements can help improve strength, motion, pain, and fear of movement in women who finished breast cancer treatment. It focuses on those with arm issues like pain, limited movement, or lymphedema.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT04914663Recruiting
Exercise program during breast cancer chemotherapy
This study tests whether supervised exercise during chemotherapy is safe and helpful for people with early-stage breast cancer. It may support physical function and well-being while you are receiving cancer treatment.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT05848141Recruiting
Rowing program after breast cancer treatment
This study looks at whether supervised rowing exercise after breast cancer treatment is safe and helpful for recovery and health. You may be able to join if you finished treatment within the last 6–24 months and have no major exercise-limiting heart or health problems.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 40–80 - NCT04356235Recruiting
Comparing immediate vs delayed breast implant reconstruction results
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast with implants, looking at cosmetic results, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help you understand which approach could fit you better and what to expect over follow-up time.
BudapestAges 18–65 - NCT06321653Recruiting
Lymphedema after radiation for early breast cancer with 1-2 positive nodes
This trial aims to see if a shorter course of radiation after breast-conserving surgery affects arm swelling (lymphedema) in people with early breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to learn if this approach is safe and effective.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07855627Recruiting
Predicting lymphedema risk before surgery
This study looks at whether a simple measurement taken before surgery can help predict if you might develop lymphedema (arm swelling) after treatment. It is for women with newly diagnosed inflammatory breast cancer who are planning to have standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05725265Recruiting
Low-level laser treatment for arm swelling after breast cancer
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can safely reduce swelling in one arm caused by breast-cancer treatment. It compares the laser to a look-alike inactive (placebo) treatment and checks changes over time.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07127003Recruiting
Surgical bypass to prevent arm swelling after lymph node removal
This study tests a surgical bypass (called ILR) to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) after removing lymph nodes from under the arm during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this extra step helps keep your arm healthy.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT06574022RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two pain blocks for mastectomy recovery
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (PECS-II and pectoral blocks) to see which works better after mastectomy. The goal is to improve pain control and recovery for patients with breast cancer or high risk.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07378319Recruiting
Sugar water injection for post-breast cancer tightness
This study tests whether a simple injection of sugar water (dextrose) around tight chest wall and armpit tissues can relieve pain and improve movement in people who have had breast cancer surgery. It is for people whose symptoms did not get better with standard physical therapy.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06679036RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests new drug combinations for advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see if adding HRS-2189, HRS-6209, or HRS-1358 to standard treatments works better. Participants must have tried certain hormone therapies or chemotherapies before.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT07472803Recruiting
Body composition study in early breast cancer patients
This study looks at how body composition (muscle and fat) changes over time in people with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to better understand the effects of cancer treatment on the body.
