Visual Biofeedback vs. Standard Therapy After Breast Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older
- You had breast cancer surgery (mastectomy or lumpectomy) within the past 6 months
- You experience shoulder pain, limited shoulder movement, weakness, or difficulty with daily activities
- You do not have active cancer spread (metastasis) to other parts of your body
- You are not currently in another rehabilitation or physical therapy program
- You do not have severe complications from surgery that would make exercise unsafe

This study tests whether starting specific physical therapy exercises early or later after breast cancer surgery is better for recovery. It may help women who are at risk for arm and shoulder problems after surgery.
This trial tests whether doing physiotherapy and using a device that gently vibrates the shoulder before surgery can reduce pain and improve shoulder movement after breast reconstruction using a latissimus dorsi flap. It might help you recover faster and have less discomfort.
This trial tests whether a long-term physical therapy program can help women who have finished breast cancer treatment but still have pain, arm problems, or fatigue. It aims to improve your quality of life during survivorship.
This study tests a new AI-based skeleton recognition system to guide rehabilitation exercises for breast cancer survivors. It may help reduce pain and improve mobility for those taking aromatase inhibitors.
This study tests whether a personalized 14-week exercise program, guided by a physiotherapist, can help people with breast cancer during their chemotherapy or hormone therapy before surgery. It also looks at certain biological markers in blood or tissue samples to learn more about how the body responds to treatment and exercise.
This study compares two strength exercise programs to see which better improves arm and shoulder function after breast cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll be placed in one of the two exercise groups and help researchers learn how to best support recovery.
