Summary

This study looked at whether teaching women simple self-massage and stretching exercises before and after breast cancer surgery could prevent long-term pain. 143 women took part. Half received standard care, and the other half also attended workshops to learn these techniques and were encouraged to practice them daily. The goal was to see if this approach reduces the number of women who develop chronic pain after surgery.
