Summary

This clinical trial evaluates how well tonation breathing techniques (use of a breathing and tonation \[creating sounds\]) works to ease pain joint and/or muscle pain in patients with stage I-III breast cancer and currently take an aromatase inhibitor. Tonation breathing techniques may help relieve pain in patients with stage I-III breast cancer who are receiving aromatase inhibitor.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To study impact of active participation of patients in producing tones in combination with breathing technique, i.e., tonation breathing techniques (TBT) to reduce aromatase inhibitor induced musculoskeletal symptoms. OUTLINE: Patients participate in tonation breathing techniques twice daily (or more if pain occurs) for 2 weeks. Patients also complete questionnaire at baseline and at 2 weeks.
