Pain is an unpleasant sensation common to all those who undergo surgery. Several studies indicate that 40-60% of patients experience the post-operative experience and can be caused by both internal and external stimuli. The most patients define the post-operative experience as a very painful condition that interferes with normal daily activities. Chronic post mastectomy pain is a condition characterized by pain in the anterior chest, armpit, and/or upper arm, usually ipsilateral to surgery, which begins after mastectomy or quadrantectomy and persists for longer. three months after surgery. It can become chronic in a broad spectrum of conditions. In fact, it is estimated that between 10 and 50% of elective interventions can generate persistent post-surgical pain. Aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the effects of motor and/or sports activity on the intensity and interference of chronic pain in quality of life of women underwent mastectomy.
