Shoulder and posture training for lymphedema after breast cancer
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of shoulder blade stabilization exercises and posture training can help reduce arm swelling and improve function in women with lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. It may offer a gentle, non-invasive way to manage your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have arm swelling (lymphedema) that started after breast cancer surgery.
- You do not have an active infection like cellulitis in your arm.
- You do not have serious shoulder, neck, or spine problems that limit movement.
- You do not have a nerve disorder that affects your arm function.
- You are not currently on chemotherapy and your cancer has not spread to other organs.

This study tests two physical therapy techniques—scapular (shoulder blade) mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (a stretching method)—to improve shoulder function and reduce pain after breast reconstruction surgery. It may help you regain better shoulder movement and ease discomfort.
This study tests whether a combined exercise program can help reduce breast cancer-related lymphedema (arm swelling). If you have stable lymphedema after breast cancer surgery, exercise may improve your symptoms and quality of life.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises and massage techniques can help reduce pain, stiffness, and limited arm movement in people who've had breast cancer surgery. It may help improve shoulder function and quality of life after treatment.
This study tests whether a resistance exercise program can help prevent or reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) in women who have recently been treated for breast cancer. The exercises focus on the upper body and are designed to be safe and helpful.
This study tests whether combining arm exercises with pneumatic compression therapy (using a sleeve that inflates and deflates to reduce swelling) can help women with breast cancer-related lymphedema (arm swelling). It aims to see if this combination reduces arm swelling and improves arm function.
This trial tests whether a self-guided physiotherapy program can help manage lymphedema (arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you have had breast cancer-related lymphedema for a while and haven't had recent treatment for it, this study may offer a way to take control of your symptoms.
