Summary

Through a blinded clinical trial, the aim is to evaluate the efficacy of manual therapy in the treatment of pain referred to after laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Control and intervention groups were randomly established. Informed consent will be requested for participation in the study.

Conditions

  • Hysterectomy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Basic and light cervical mobilization exercises

This group of exercises will be made up of a series of cervical mobilization exercises that are performed without pain, smooth, controlled by the patients, and without forcing the angulations. They are performed seated, with the arms extended along the body and forearms and hands resting on the legs. The chair must be firm and comfortable. Head movements to the right and left, right and left lateral flexion of the cervical region, cervical flexion and extension will be performed. This exercise will be performed for 5 minutes 3 times a day and beginning in the first 24 postoperative hours.

PROCEDURE

Abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing exercises

The first abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing exercises will be carried out in a lying position, with the back well supported on a comfortable and firm surface, and with hips and knees flexed and feet supported. The patients take deep breaths, taking air raising the abdomen towards the ceiling, without raising the back from the horizontal plane. During expiration the navel will lower posteriorly and rise towards the thoracic region. For the second abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing exercise, the patient is seated on a firm and comfortable surface, with hips and knees flexed and feet supported. An inspiratory movement will be made in which the patient's navel will be moved outward, away from the spine. During expiration, the navel will go in the direction of the patient's spine and will rise in the direction of the thorax.
