Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of early neck isometrics exercise on relieving neck discomfort in patients after cerebellopontine angle surgeries.Methods The non-synchronous control study was conducted.The control group(40 patients recruited from March to June,2017) received routine nursing,while the intervention group (40 patients recruited from July to November,2017) performed early neck isometrics exercise in addition to routine nursing.Neck discomfort degree,neck rotation range,and Barthel score were measured and compared between two groups on Day 1,Day 3,Day 5,and Day 7 after surgeries.Results The intervention group had a high level of participation and no adverse events occurred.Neck discomfort degree of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group on Day 1,Day 3,and Day 5(P＜0.05).Neck rotation range of the intervention group was improved on Day 1 and Day 3 compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Barthel score of the intervention group on Day 3,Day 5 and Day 7 was significantly better than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Early neck isometrics exercise in patients underwent cerebellopontine angle surgeries is safe and feasible,which can alleviate discomfort of neck,and improve patients' early postoperative experience and quality of life.
