Spa therapy for joint and muscle pain from hormone therapy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether spa therapy (soaking in warm mineral water and doing gentle water exercises) can help reduce joint and muscle pain caused by hormone-blocking therapy for breast cancer. If you qualify, you might find relief from these common side effects.
