简要总结
The aim of this clinical randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of head and neck stretching exercises performed after thyroidectomy on voice function, anxiety, and psychological resilience, and to examine the effectiveness of this intervention in adult patients undergoing thyroidectomy.
The primary questions to be answered are:
Do head and neck stretching exercises improve voice function (Voice Handicap Index) after thyroidectomy? Do head and neck stretching exercises reduce patients' anxiety levels and increase psychological resilience? As a comparison group, researchers will compare the effects of head and neck stretching exercises to a control group receiving only routine care to assess the effects of exercises on voice, anxiety, and psychological resilience.
Participants will be asked to participate in the following procedures:
Patients in the experimental group will undergo head and neck stretching exercises in the early post-thyroidectomy period.
Voice function, anxiety, and psychological resilience will be measured in both groups before surgery and at postoperative day 1, week 1, week 2, and month 1.
