Summary

This study tests whether adding deep breathing exercises to a massage routine can quickly reduce neck pain and stiffness in operating room nurses after surgery. Thirty-eight nurses will receive either massage alone or massage plus breathing exercises in a single session. Researchers will measure pain, neck function, and pressure sensitivity right before and after treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
diaphragmatic breathing exercises, soft tissue mobilization, and percussive therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a quick, drug-free way to reduce neck pain and improve function for nurses after long surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early trial (38 people) testing only immediate effects after a single session. Results may not last or apply to other workers.
