What this Trial Is About
This multi-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluates the long-term (12-month) effectiveness of a standardized multidisciplinary physiotherapy program versus standard care on persistent pain, upper limb (UL) dysfunction, and cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in breast cancer survivors. The study also examines improvements in quality of life and psychological well-being. The standardized intervention combines specific exercise therapy, manual therapy, education, and mind-body interventions and is designed to produce sustained benefits beyond the acute rehabilitation phase.
