Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Female patients aged 50–70 with unilateral mastectomy, on aromatase inhibitor therapy, and able to provide informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients with metastases, lymphedema, rheumatoid arthritis, neurological deficits, or psychological disorders may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Forty women meeting the criteria will be randomly assigned to two equal groups. Group A will start the reverse fly exercise after 3–6 weeks of aromatase inhibitor therapy and receive a standard tendonitis treatment plus physical therapy three times a week for eight weeks. Group B will receive the standard physical therapy program plus their medical care for eight weeks. The trial compares functional outcomes and symptom relief between the two approaches.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience greater reduction in shoulder tendonitis symptoms and improved shoulder function.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have explored targeted physical therapy for tendonitis, but this exact combination with reverse fly exercises in this patient population is novel.
