Gentle Touch for Post-Mastectomy Lymphedema
This is a single-blind, parallel-group Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) comparing the efficacy of a specialized manual technique, Gentle Touch (GT), versus a control intervention, both added to the usual rehabilitative care. The study investigates 36 women aged 30 to 75 with Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL). The primary objective is to …
Paravertebral Block for Mastectomy With Immediate Reconstruction
Following a mastectomy, patients may develop chronic pain, called post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS). This syndrome manifests itself as complex neuropathic pain that seems linked to nerve damage suffered either during surgery, during healing or by nervous system dysfunction. However, the exact pathophysiology remains unknown. Typically, the pain is located on …
Endoscopy/Robotic Assisted Nipple Skin Sparing Mastectomy
Non-inferiority study of video-assisted (endoscopic or robotic) skin- and nipple-sparing mastectomy compared to open mastectomy. The feasibility of the technique, oncological safety and cosmetic results will be studied.
The Impact of AI- Supported Education in Mastectomy Patient
This study aims to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI)-supported preoperative education on fear and anxiety levels in patients undergoing total mastectomy. It is a randomized controlled trial involving two groups: one receiving AI-supported education and the other receiving standard preoperative education. The primary outcomes are to assess changes …
Shoulder Denervation for Post Mastectomy Irradiation Shoulder Pain
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer world-wide following lung cancer. It afflicts about 1.7 million patients annually, of which 60% mandate surgery of the breast and/or the axilla, and nearly 20-50% of them may develop post mastectomy pain syndrome . After breast cancer surgery, between 6% and 86% …
Outcomes of a Novel Technique Minimal Scar Mastectomy
Nipple sparing mastectomy is oncologically safe and has a good cosmetic outcome. However, nipple sparing mastectomy was conventionally performed with reconstruction. Minimal scar mastectomy (MSM) is a novel technique which could allow women, with non-ptotic breasts, who do not want reconstruction, to conserve their nipple areolar complex (NAC) and avoid …
Segmentectomy After Induction Therapy (SAINT)
The primary objective will be to determine the feasibility of performing a high-quality sublobar anatomic resection (segmentectomy) with R0 margin status on final pathology for patients who received induction therapy for NSCLC and are downstaged to ≤ycT1cN0M0 (TDi 3cm or less). T1c is tumor staging 1 and c stands for …
Brass Mesh Bolus in Rotational Post-Mastectomy Radiation Therapy
The hypothesis is that the daily use of brass mesh bolus achieves a comparable dose to every-other-day use of Superflab bolus (current standard of care) in chest wall post-mastectomy patients treated with rotational 6 MV photon delivery.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Neuropathic Pain Post Mastectomy
PURPOSE: The main objective of the study is: to evaluate the therapeutic effect of ESWT on intercostobrachial neuralgia post-mastectomy. BACKGROUND Intercostobrachial neuralgia post-mastectomy is thought to develop from surgical damage to the intercostobrachial nerve, this nerve is injured in 80-100 % of mastectomy patients who undergo axillary lymph nodes dissection. …
Motor Control Retraining Exercises on Shoulder Dysfunction Post Mastectomy
Motor control and strengthening exercises can improve function in shoulder impingement patients by realigning the scapula and changing muscle recruitment patterns. Peripheral musculoskeletal impairments can be associated with cortical reorganisation. Movement retraining using the principles of motor control retrain muscle recruitment patterns and improve scapular kinematics, reducing subacromial impingement, thus …
