Interventional Study.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07884968). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: University of Alcala. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 22 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Breast Neoplasms. Interventions: OTHER: Incentive Spirometry (IS) and Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) Training; OTHER: Individualised Exercise Programme (Aerobic and Resistance Training); OTHER: Patient Education Programme. Primary outcome measures: Recruitment Rate , During the recruitment period; Screening-to-Randomisation Yield , During the recruitment period; Retention Rate , From randomisation to the final follow-up assessment (six months after radiotherapy).; Attendance at Face-to-Face Physiotherapy Sessions , Throughout the four-week intervention period.; Adherence to the Home-Based Exercise Programme , Throughout the four-week intervention period.; Adherence to Respiratory Training , Throughout the four-week intervention period.; Adverse Events Related to the Intervention (Safety) , Throughout the four-week intervention period. Brief summary: Radiotherapy is an important treatment for breast cancer, but it may affect lung function and physical ability, making everyday activities more difficult. Breathing exercises may help women recover after treatment, although more research is needed. The main aim of this pilot study was to assess whether a four-week respiratory physiotherapy programme was practical and safe for women treated for breast cancer with radiotherapy. The study also explored its potential benefits for lung function, physical ability, physical activity, fatigue and quality of life. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups. Both groups received patient education and an individualised exercise programme. In addition, one group performed breathing exercises at home using two devices: one to encourage deep breathing (incentive spirometry) and another to provide resistance when breathing out (positive expiratory pressure). The study compared both groups to explore whether adding these breathing exercises provided additional benefits.
