What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Education brochureOther

  • Live education and exercise instructionOther

    Participants will receive one to two physical therapy visits consisting of education on the lymphedema risks and prevention factors, along with detailed information about what to except post-surgery as well as with radiation/chemotherapy. Additionally, those in the intervention group will be instructed on exercises to maintain or increase glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joint ROM post surgery and will be set up with a walking program.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Education brochure and Live education and exercise instruction in people with Breast Cancer, run by Oakland University at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in score for Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) (time frame: Before sugery (range 0-4 weeks before surgery), 2 weeks post operatively and 6 weeks post-operatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Apr 2014.
