Effects of a Telerehabilitation Intervention in the Management of Complications After Breast Cancer Surgery

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Neoplasms

In brief

The most common complaints after breast surgery are postoperative pain reported in up to 68% of patients, musculoskeletal problems in the shoulder and functional limitations in up to 59% of patients after mastectomy and quadrantectomy, reduction in range of motion ( ROM) in 24-53% and strength deficit. The study aims to verify the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation treatment in terms of prevention of possible complications following breast cancer surgery. Primary objective: to examine whether the group of patients undergoing rehabilitation surgery in the immediate post-operative period shows a reduction in the onset of complications compared to the group of patients who followed standard procedures. Secondary objective: to study any preoperative prognostic factors for the onset of complications, to study the effectiveness of the rehabilitation treatment in terms of reduction of painful symptoms, improvement of joint ROM, muscle strength and perceived quality of life.
