Video Summary
In a video presentation, the speaker discusses the challenges of managing post-operative pain after motoric cardiac arthritis and the adverse effects of opiate medications. They propose relaxation exercises as an alternative treatment, citing studies that show a decrease in post-operative pain with these exercises. The speaker presents their own study where patients were randomized into two groups: one receiving standard medication and the other performing relaxation exercises in addition to medication. The results show that the relaxation group consumed significantly fewer opioids than the control group. However, there was no significant difference in post-operative pain levels or shoulder function between the two groups. The speaker concludes that relaxation exercises can effectively reduce post-operative opioid use and should be considered as an adjunct therapy.
