Chinese herbal add-on for joint pain from letrozole
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies whether Chinese herbs, used alongside letrozole, can reduce ongoing joint and muscle pain or stiffness in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. It’s mainly for people whose pain started or worsened after beginning letrozole and who have completed cancer treatments.
