Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) are recommended for the adjuvant treatment of hormone receptor positive breast cancers in the post-menopausal population. Compared with Tamoxifen, third generation aromatase inhibitors have been shown to significantly improve disease free survival (DFS), and include the
This study will be a double-blind randomized controlled trial, parallel in two groups (intervention group and sham). Participants will initially be evaluated by a trained investigator who will be blinded and assigned randomly (random numbers generated on the computer) block for the intervention and
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To recruit an ethnically, racially and culturally diverse sample of postmenopausal women diagnosed with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer who are currently taking aromatase inhibitor (AI), establish eligibility, and randomly allocate 20 participants to a two-arm
The taxanes are a class of anticancer agents that interfere with microtubule disassembly. They have been an integral part of adjuvant breast cancer treatment since the early 2000s. Taxane-induced arthralgia and myalgia syndrome (TAMS) is one of the most common side effects of taxane chemotherapy. It
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of hypnosis for reducing musculoskeletal pain (MSP) in women taking aromatase inhibitors (AIs) for breast cancer. Research indicates that AIs are associated with musculoskeletal pain in up to 61% of breast cancer survivors. AI-associated
Taxane Related Arthralgia-Myalgia Syndrome:
Paclitaxel and docetaxel are the major representatives of the drug class of taxanes, agents commonly used in the treatment of a variety of solid tumors. They interfere with the mitotic process of dividing cells by stabilizing the microtubules and are the
Treatments with anti-estrogen agents for hormone receptor positive breast cancer is the most efficacious of systemic therapies, with aromatase inhibitors (AI's) being considered the most active anti-estrogen therapy in early stage breast cancer. But, use of these treatments has been shown to cause

Neoadjuvant (preoperative) chemotherapy is an interesting research tool which allows investigators to test new drugs and/or new schedules with a validated surrogate endpoint, pCR. It also represents an ideal model to evaluate the relationships between treatments and tumor biomarkers. Recent
The primary endpoint of this study is to compare the difference in neuropathic pain as measured by the mean Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) worse pain score at 12 weeks between the two arms. The Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form is a well validated clinical tool used frequently to assess
Aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy is commonly used for treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The most common toxicities are arthralgias and myalgias, which can be difficult to manage and necessitate discontinuation of therapy in up to 10% of patients. One
