    Abstract
  •   Objective  To evaluate the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pack therapy in managing postoperative neck pain in thyroid cancer patients. In addition, the study will analyze its role in enhancing postoperative recovery and assess treatment safety.  Methods  A total of 76 patients who underwent radical surgery for thyroid cancer at the Thyroid and Breast Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine between January and March 2025, and developed postoperative neck pain were randomized into treatment and control groups (38 cases each) using a random number table. The control group received routine care, while the treatment group received additional TCM pack therapy. The severity of pain was measured using the numerical rating scale (NRS) and the brief pain inventory (BPI) at one hour and three days after surgery. Postoperative recovery was evaluated using the quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) scale on the day before surgery and 3 days post-surgery. Adverse reactions were also recorded.  Results  A comparison was made between the groups. In the treatment group, NRS and BPI scores at 3 days postoperatively were significantly decreased in comparison with those at 1 day postoperatively (P < 0.05).Inter-group comparison: Three days after the operation, the treatment group exhibited a significantly lower NRS score [0 (0, 0)] than the control group [1 (1, 1), Z=-6.595, P < 0.001]. Furthermore, the treatment group demonstrated a lower BPI pain intensity score (6.71±2.54 vs. 8.89±3.56, F=8.862, P=0.004), indicating a lower level of interference with pain. Similarly, the mean score for the QoR-15 scale was higher (130.42±9.36 vs. 121.76±8.38, F=17.805, P < 0.001). No adverse reactions were observed in either group during treatment.  Conclusion  In comparison with the control group, TCM pack therapy significantly alleviated postoperative neck pain, accelerated recovery, and demonstrated favorable safety in thyroid cancer patients.
