Summary

This study looked at whether doing head and neck stretching exercises soon after thyroid surgery can improve voice function, lower anxiety, and boost psychological resilience. 103 adults who had a thyroidectomy were split into two groups: one did the stretches, the other received standard care. Researchers measured voice, anxiety, and resilience before surgery and at several points up to one month after.
