About

This study is comparing two interventions to identify effective treatment for breast cancer patients.

Full description

Tele rehabilitation has gained popularity during Covid 19 pandemic. All the studies carried out at that time was found effective in many countries. Still a literature gap is present in tele rehabilitation in breast cancer patients in Pakistan. Prevalence of breast cancer is high in Pakistan. Now it is the best time to implement tele rehabilitation for breast cancer patients as it will reduce treatment costs and travel expenses. Therefore, the goal of this RCT is to consider tele rehabilitation as part of our treatment plan because if it is found effective for patients than it will be helpful in the field of health and technology.
