| Description: |
Persistent pain following thorax surgery is a well-documented consequence leading to long-term shoulder function restriction and range of motion, reduced muscle strength, chronic pain and reduced health-related quality of life. The study was conducted by the Center for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of “G.d’Annunzio” University Chieti-Pescara with the aim to investigate the pre-operative manual therapy effectiveness in reducing and controlling the development of post-operative pain and postural disease following a thoracic surgery in patients with a pre-existing shoulder dysfunction. A sample of 26 subjects were recruited and divided into an experimental group and control group. The former has benefitted of a pre-operative manual therapy, while the latter only received standard nursing and medical care. Using VAS scale [Visual Analogic Scale] and S.P.A.D.I. index [Shoulder Pain and Disability Index], the effects of pre-operative manual therapy on experimental group were evaluated both before surgery [T0] and after surgery [T1]. Statistical analysis of outcome measurements showed a statistically significant reduction of the perception of pain [0,002] and disability in the experimental group [0,005] compared to the control group in patients who underwent to thorax surgery for lung cancer. |
