Clinical Trial Summary

Myofascial pain syndrome is a common cause of chronic pain characterized by myofascial pain and trigger points. Recommendations regarding management of pain after breast cancer don't mention myofascial syndrome despite a study suggests possible myofascial syndrome with roughly 75% of patients in pain.

144 patients having a local breast cancer requiring surgery will be randomized in this study, ratio 1:1 standard and experimental groups.

Every patients (standard and experimental groups) will attend 4 specific consultations during which standard recommendations will be given, pain, quality of life, shoulder range of motion, global upper limbs force will be assessed.

In addition, patient randomized in experimental group will attend self massages and self stretching workshops, one before surgery and one after surgery. Patients will be encouraged to performed daily self massages and self stretching.

The aim of the study is to assess impact of self massages and self stretching workshops on sequelae pain further surgery for breast cancer.
