ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at whether special exercises called kinetic control exercises can help improve shoulder problems in women who have had a mastectomy, which is surgery to remove one or both breasts, often due to breast cancer. Shoulder issues after this surgery can make everyday movements difficult, and this study aims to see if these exercises can make a positive difference.

Women between the ages of 40 and 50 who have had a mastectomy and do not have diabetes, blood disorders, or other specific health issues may be eligible to join. Participants will need to give their informed consent, meaning they agree to take part after understanding what the study involves. The trial has not started recruiting yet, but those who join can expect to follow a program of these exercises designed to help improve shoulder function. It’s important to know that women with conditions like lymphedema (swelling often after surgery), active cancer, skin problems, mental illness, or previous shoulder problems will not be able to participate. This study hopes to find better ways to support recovery and improve quality of life after mastectomy.
