Seven of the 22 pain measures demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties and clinical utility and are thereby recommended for clinical and research use in adults with a diagnosis of cancer. Participants received Physical therapy program is critical to preserve flexibility, strength, range of motion, and normal neuromuscular recruitment. Patients' efforts to cut back their pain through avoidance behaviors can severely undermine function if mobility, activity of daily living, performance, or vocational capacity are affected. Physical therapy may involve trials of analgesic modalities like desensitization techniques, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and topical cold. Modality trials are rapid, relatively harmless, and inexpensive with the additional benefit that patients can self-administer effective treatments The pain management protocol of physiotherapy of PMPS depends mainly on education regarding the subsequent points that are paramount.
