General magnet therapy and low-frequency electrostatic field in the postoperative period in patients with breast cancer

Close metadata

OBJECTIVE

To compare the efficacy of general magnetic therapy and low-frequency electrostatic field on days 2—4 after the radical surgical treatment of breast cancer and 1.0—1.5 months after radiation therapy in combination with therapeutic physical training, motor-cognitive training, and sessions with a psychologist.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Examination and medical rehabilitation of 131 patients after radical surgical treatment of breast cancer were performed. Age ranged from 30 to 75 years. Group 1 included 66 patients who received medical rehabilitation on days 2—4 after the surgery and 1.0—1.5 months later in addition to adjuvant radiotherapy; Group 2 included 65 patients who received medical rehabilitation only after 1.0—1.5 months in addition to adjuvant radiotherapy.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

It was shown that two courses of medical rehabilitation with the addition of physiotherapeutic treatment on days 2—4 and 1.0—1.5 months after radical breast cancer surgery in addition to radiation therapy contribute to a significant reduction of functional disorders severity in patients versus initiation of medical rehabilitation 1.0—1.5 months after the surgery in addition to radiation therapy. The feasibility of including general magnetic therapy procedures and low-frequency electrostatic field exposure in the medical rehabilitation course was demonstrated as it results in pain relief, postoperative edema reduction, and quicker recovery of the shoulder joint mobility that promotes long-term clinical benefit.
