Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to use an online survey to gather information on the incidence and clinical impact of Aromatase Inhibitor-Induced Musculoskeletal Syndrome (AIMSS) in Australian women. Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you are 18 years or older, female, have had a diagnosis of early breast cancer since 2007 and have been taking an aromatase inhibitor at any time since your diagnosis. Trial details. Many women with breast cancer are prescribed aromatase inhibitors as part of their breast cancer treatment. It is known that some women experience side effects from aromatase inhibitors which disrupt their quality of life. Some women may even choose to stop taking their medication before they have completed the recommended course (usually five years). This survey will ask a number of questions about women's experiences with side effects from aromatase inhibitors. The survey focuses specifically on joint, muscle and tendon pain, stiffness and discomfort. Women who have not had joint or muscle symptoms are also welcome to take part. The survey will assist the researchers to: * Better understand how the side effects of aromatase inhibitors affect Australian women. * Investigate possible ways of reducing these symptoms * Look at ways of improving the way doctors and other health professionals measure women’s symptoms and their impact on quality of life.
