Summary
This study evaluates the effectiveness of mechanical stimulation technique compared to massages on pain level and functional discomfort (on the mobility of the shoulder) after 6 months, in breast cancer needing physiotherapy, following a total mastectomy and exploratory axillary surgery.
Detailed description
A prospective, monocentric, randomized, open-labelled in two parallel groups study that evaluates the effectiveness of mechanical stimulation technique compared to massages on pain level and functional discomfort (on the mobility of the shoulder) after 6 months in breast cancer patients needing physiotherapy, following a total mastectomy and exploratory axillary surgery. Other objectives of the study include: * Evaluate the efficacy of mechanical stimulation technique compared to massages on pain and functional discomfort (on the mobility of the shoulder) 15 days after the end of physiotherapy. * Evaluate the impact of mechanical stimulation on the quality of life of patients, in comparison to those receiving massages

| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE | Mechanical Stimulation | The technique of mechanical stimulation alternates between compression and decompression of the treated area. It aims to reestablish a good blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. |
| PROCEDURE | Massages | Massages will be carried out according to a specific regime as specified in the study protocol. The massages will be done in 15 sessions of 30 minutes each, done twice a week and will consist of: * One part muscle exercise * One part skin work (drainage) |
