Effect Of Aerobic Exercises Along With Music Therapy On The Fatigue And Quality Of Life In Female With Thyroidectomy Following Thyroid Cancer: A Research Protocol

Abstract

Background- Thyroid cancer, which manifests as a solid tumour cancer of the thyroid gland, is the most common endocrine cancer in women and the sixth most common cancer overall. Its prevalence has been rapidly rising in India, particularly among the younger population, with a rise in fatigue caused by cancer and poor quality of life in females following thyroidectomy. Aim- This experimental study protocol has been designed to evaluate the effect of Aerobic exercises along with Music Therapy on the fatigue and quality of life in female with thyroidectomy following thyroid cancer. Methods- The study's participants (n = 30) will be females who underwent thyroidectomy and meet the inclusion criteria. The participants will be enrolled in the study, ensuring that the six-week session is effectively completed. Aerobic exercises are combined with music therapy as the intervention. Fatigue and quality of life will be evaluated pre and post-treatment by using the Fatigue assessment scale and Rand SF-36 Questionnaire. Conclusion- This is a unique study, since a similar study has not yet been carried out. This study evaluates the effect of Aerobic exercises combined with Music Therapy by determining the fatigue caused by cancer and quality of life in females with post thyroidectomy following thyroid cancer.
