Moderate-Intensity Exercise and Pain Sensitization in Breast Cancer Survivors: A Case-Based Study


Sponsor

Universidad Rey Juan Carlos

Enrollment

10 participants

Start Date

Aug 23, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and acceptability of a supervised, combined moderate-intensity aerobic and resistance training program designed to reduce pain sensitization in BCS with persistent pain. Secondary objectives included assessing changes in pain intensity, somatosensory sensitivity, and temporal summation, while tertiary objectives focused on improvements in quality of life and functional capacity.


Eligibility

Sex: FEMALE

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at how moderate exercise affects pain sensitivity in women who have finished breast cancer treatment and still experience persistent pain or unusual sensations in the chest, arm, or shoulder area. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman diagnosed with stage I, II, or III breast cancer - You completed active treatment (surgery, chemo, or radiation) at least 6 months ago - You have ongoing pain or altered feeling in the upper body related to your cancer treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You had breast cancer in both breasts - Your cancer has come back locally - You have another cancer - Your pain is not related to cancer treatment - You have a neurological or cognitive disorder - You do not speak Spanish (this study appears to be conducted in Spanish) - You have a medical condition that prevents moderate-intensity exercise Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERExercise

The experimental group completed a five-week supervised program combining moderate-intensity aerobic and resistance training (150 min/week). Intensity was monitored using the Borg and OMNI-Res scales after familiarization sessions. Adherence was encouraged through reminders, motivational messages, and follow-ups. Unlike prior studies, this intervention focused specifically on neurophysiological pain modulation. Sessions included step-based aerobic exercises and resistance training with elastic bands under safety protocols.
