Positioning technique to reduce shoulder pain after gynecologic surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special head-down positioning during breathing exercises after minimally invasive gynecologic surgery can reduce shoulder pain—a common side effect. You'll be randomly assigned to receive this positioning or standard care and will be contacted to report your pain recovery.
