Reverse Fly Exercise for Supraspinatus Tendinitis in Women on Aromatase Inhibitors After Mastectomy
Official title: Reverse Fly Exercise On Supraspinatus Tendinitis In Patients Receiving Aromatase Inhibitors Therapy After Mastectomy
Run by Cairo University · NCT07763080 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether adding reverse fly exercises to standard tendonitis therapy helps relief in women aged 50–70 who had mastectomy and are on aromatase inhibitors.

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.
