About

A mastectomy is a medical surgery in which the breast is removed whole or in part. Breast cancer is the second most prevalent cancer diagnosed in women. Rotator cuff dysfunction-related shoulder pain is a common symptom associated with mastectomy, reconstruction, and therapy for breast cancer.) Patients who get treatment for breast cancer report reduced strength (prevalence 17-33%), loss of upper limb range of motion (prevalence 2-51%), and reduced ability to carry out daily life tasks.

Full description

The study aims to observe the effectiveness of inhibition compression therapy versus scapular mobilization on shoulder in patients with mastectomy. By investigating the effectiveness of inhibition compression therapy versus scapular mobilization, this study can contribute to improved pain management, enhanced quality of life, and reduced healthcare utilization for breast cancer survivors. It will be randomized control trial (RCT). The study will be conduct in Gujranwala institute of nuclear medicine. It will be non-probability convenience sampling technique. Duration of the study will be 6 months after the approval of synopsis
