Summary

This study tested whether doing gentle neck stretches and strengthening exercises for 10 days after thyroid surgery helps reduce pain and improve early recovery. 93 adults who had their thyroid removed were split into two groups: one did the exercises, the other received standard care. Results showed that those who exercised reported less neck pain and better quality of life by day 10.
