About

This clinical trial aims to compare the effects of a concurrent physical exercise program (aerobic and resistance training) combined with music medicine versus exercise alone on self-perception (self-esteem and body image), physical condition (strength, fatigue, cardiovascular endurance) and general well-being (quality of life and sleep quality) in female breast cancer survivors.

The main research question is:

• Is a program that combines physical exercise and music therapy more effective than physical exercise alone in improving self-perception, physical condition, and general well-being in breast cancer survivors?

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:

• One group will receive concurrent physical exercise combined with music therapy.
• The other group will receive the same exercise program without music therapy. Assessments will be conducted at three time points: before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 6 months post-intervention.

Enrollment: 42 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Women aged between 18 and 75 years with a prior diagnosis of stage 0-III breast cancer.
• Women currently in the survivorship phase of the disease, regardless of the type of medical or surgical treatment received.
• A minimum of six months must have elapsed since the completion of primary treatment.

Exclusion criteria

• History of lymphedema secondary to axillary surgery.

• Inability to provide informed consent for participation in the study.

• Prior diagnosis of hearing impairments that hinder or prevent music listening, such as partial or total deafness.

• Prior diagnosis of any central or peripheral neurological condition.

• Presence of comorbidities or conditions that contraindicate participation in a physical exercise program.

  • A preliminary screening of participants will be conducted based on the recommendations of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), considering the risk of potential exercise-induced adverse effects.
