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