BALNEOTHERAPY FOR BREAST CANCER PATIENTS UNDERGOING ENDOCRINE THERAPY
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Balneotherapy: The intervention consists in 3 weekly sessions of balneotherapy during 4 weeks.
Study summary
Endocrine therapy is the mainstay of adjuvant therapy in premenopausal women with hormone receptive-positive (HR+) breast cancer as it has been demonstrated that it reduces long-term recurrences and increases survivial. However, this therapy, which suppresses estrogen production and estrogen-induced effects, is associated with the development of joint pain which can significantly reduce quality of life and lead to treatment discontinuation.
The main question the study aims o answer is:
Can balneotherapy (BT) alleviate muscle-skeletal pain (primary objective) derived from endocrine therapy and improve quality of life (secondary objective) in young women with HR+ breast cancer?
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Changes in musculo-skeletal pain — 7 months
The primary objective is to determine changes in pain levels through the visual analogic scale (VAS) in the third and second timepoints vs baseline in all participants and to compare these outcomes between participants in the BT and control groups.
