About this trial
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.
