Exercise to prevent pain from hormone therapy in breast cancer
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether starting a gentle exercise program early can help prevent or reduce joint and muscle pain caused by aromatase inhibitors (a common breast cancer medicine). It is for women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer who are not yet experiencing severe pain from their treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have breast cancer that has not spread to other organs (non-metastatic).
- Your cancer is hormone receptor-positive (meaning it may grow in response to hormones).
- You are currently taking an aromatase inhibitor (a type of hormone-blocking pill).
- You do not have any serious heart, lung, or blood vessel problems that would make exercise unsafe.
- You do not have a bone or joint problem that stops you from using a stationary bike.
