Sponsor

Imperial College London

Enrollment

75 participants

Start Date

Apr 23, 2018

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This work aims to use wearable sensors to record the return towards normal physical activity after breast surgery. It will build on current evidence by using objective measures of activity and arm movements rather than patient reports.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study (called BRACELET) is evaluating a wearable electronic device to monitor arm swelling and movement recovery in patients who have undergone breast or axillary (armpit lymph node) surgery, to see if technology can improve how lymphedema (arm swelling after surgery) is tracked and managed. **You may be eligible if...** - You have had breast surgery or surgery to remove lymph nodes in the armpit (axillary node clearance) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with another movement disorder that would affect arm measurement - You are unable to consent due to language barriers or reduced capacity Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
