Diaphragmatic breathing for referred pain after total laparoscopic hysterectomy: a randomized clinical trial
Referred pain in TLH tends to become self-limiting over time, but diaphragmatic breathing exercises resulted in a faster reduction in pain intensity and craniocervical disability when compared with gentle cervical stretching exercises. Thus, abdominodiaphragmatic breathing might be a simple and safe complementary intervention to be taught to patients suffering from referred pain after TLH.
