Beschrijving

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Undergoing thyroid surgery
  • Postoperative condition stable, with the attending physician assessing the patient as fit for neck movement

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of prior thyroid or neck surgery
  • History of cervical spondylosis, cervical spine surgery, neck trauma, or other conditions affecting neck mobility
  • Postoperative complications rendering the patient unsuitable for neck movement training, such as confirmed recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, chyle leak, or complications requiring reoperation or prolonged drainage, or incision infection
  • Persistent postoperative dizziness or other conditions unsuitable for exercise
  • Unable to use WeChat and lacking assistance from family members

Wapens en interventies

Deelnemersgroep / Arm
Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: WeChat-supported tele-rehabilitation group
Participants in the WeChat-supported tele-rehabilitation group received WeChat mini program-supported postoperative neck exercise management.
Gedragsmatig: WeChat-supported Neck Rehabilitation Exercise
WeChat mini program-supported neck exercise management includes daily exercise reminders, exercise check-ins, symptom reporting, automated abnormal symptom prompts, and standardized remote feedback from the research team.
Gedragsmatig: Standardized Postoperative Care and Video Education
This intervention consists of standard clinical postoperative care and discharge education, encompassing wound management, follow-up appointments, and generic neck activity guidelines. Prior to discharge or upon clinical stability, participants undergo a one-time, face-to-face training session with research staff featuring practical exercise demonstrations and behavioral precautions, and are provided with identical instructional video materials for home reference.
Actieve vergelijker: Routine care group
Participants in the routine care group did not receive WeChat mini program-supported postoperative neck exercise management.
Gedragsmatig: Standardized Postoperative Care and Video Education

Primaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPDS) Score
Tijdsspanne: Preoperative baseline; the day of drainage removal; and 7, 14, and 30 days after drainage removal
The NPDS is used to evaluate post-surgical neck pain and its multi-dimensional impact on daily living, emotions, work, and social activities. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores representing more severe neck pain and structural functional impairment.
Preoperative baseline; the day of drainage removal; and 7, 14, and 30 days after drainage removal

Secundaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Neck Movement Pain Score
Tijdsspanne: Preoperative baseline; the day of drainage removal; and 7, 14, and 30 days after drainage removal
Assessment of localized pain severity provoked during active cervical movements, including neck flexion, extension, left/right lateral flexion, and left/right rotation. Each of the six movements is scored categorically as 0 (painless), 1 (mild pain), or 2 (severe pain), yielding a cumulative score range of 0 to 12. Higher total scores indicate more pronounced motion-induced cervical pain.
Preoperative baseline; the day of drainage removal; and 7, 14, and 30 days after drainage removal
Health-related quality of life
Tijdsspanne: Preoperative baseline; the day of drainage removal; and 7, 14, and 30 days after drainage removal
Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). The descriptive system assesses five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, with five response levels for each dimension.
Preoperative baseline; the day of drainage removal; and 7, 14, and 30 days after drainage removal
Incidence of Surgical Complications and Intervention-Related Adverse Events
Tijdsspanne: Up to 3 month post-operation
Safety endpoints mapping the frequency and severity of post-surgical complications (e.g., wound bleeding/hematoma, incision dehiscence, surgical site infection) or any adverse events deemed by the investigator to be potentially related to the physical exercise regimen (e.g., severe motion-induced pain exacerbation, acute dizziness).
Up to 3 month post-operation
Cervical Range of Motion (ROM)
Tijdsspanne: Preoperative baseline; the day of drainage removal; and 7, 14, and 30 days after drainage removal
Objective clinical measurement of neck mobility, quantifying the exact degrees of cervical movement achieved during forward flexion, backward extension, left/right lateral flexion, and left/right rotation, assessed by a blinded investigator.
Preoperative baseline; the day of drainage removal; and 7, 14, and 30 days after drainage removal

Andere uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Rehabilitation adherence
Tijdsspanne: Up to 1 month post-operation
Adherence will be calculated as the number of completed prescribed rehabilitation sessions divided by the number of prescribed sessions during the corresponding assessment period, multiplied by 100%. Higher percentages indicate better adherence.
Up to 1 month post-operation
Acceptability of postoperative rehabilitation
Tijdsspanne: 30 days after drainage removal
Acceptability of the postoperative rehabilitation program will be assessed using study-specific items addressing clarity of the rehabilitation guidance, usefulness of the educational materials, suitability, perceived safety, burden, confidence in recovery, overall satisfaction, and willingness to recommend the rehabilitation approach. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
