简要总结
Variety of physical therapy treatments have been used after open abdominal surgery to improve cardiopulmonary and physical function as well as to reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. This study intends to determine the effect of early physical therapy interventions on post-operative recovery profile, post-operative ileus and incisional pain following abdominal hysterectomy.
详细描述
This study is randomized controlled trial which will be conducted at in-patient gynecology department of Pakistan Railway hospital. This study would include total of 42 participants divided into two groups with 21 participants in each group calculated through OpenEpi (CI=95%Power=80%). Individuals will be screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and allocated randomly into two groups through sealed envelope method. Experimental group will receive early physical therapy interventions including patient education, ambulation, in-bed exercises, deep breathing exercises, connective tissue manipulation and TENS during the first 3 post-operative days following abdominal hysterectomy. While the control group will receive patient education and early ambulation during the first 3 post-operative days following abdominal hysterectomy.
Post-operative recovery will be assessed on 3rd post-operative day. Intensity of pain will be measured on baseline and 3rd post-operative day. The effect of intervention on post-operative ileus will be measured by monitoring each participant's time to tolerance of oral diet, first passage of stool and flatus

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
时间窗: Post 3rd day
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) will be used for evaluating intensity of the incisional pain. Its scores range from 0-10, 0 means No pain and 10 means Severe pain. Patient will be asked to verbally report the pain score.
Postoperative recovery profile questionnaire
时间窗: Post 3rd day
For hospitalized patients a 17-item version of the PRP will be used (excluding the items "Re-establishing everyday life" and "Sexual activity"). The global score ranges from 0 to 17.
