ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To analyze the effect of a protocol based on the Mat Pilates method in an intervention group compared to a usual care control group, on quality of life, fatigue and body image of head and neck cancer survivors.

METHODS:

This was a randomized clinical trial with 30 survivors, allocated into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group underwent a 12-week Mat Pilates, twice a week, one hour long, and the control group attended two lectures and received weekly follow-up throughout the study period. Data collection took place through individual face-to-face interviews, focusing on assessing the

outcomes:

quality of life (FACT-H&N); fatigue (FACT-F) and body image (BIS).

RESULTS:

The Mat Pilates group showed significant improvements compared to the control group in both intragroup and intergroup analyses across the variables quality of life (in total score (p = 0.007)/(p = 0.003), family well-being (p = 0.001)/(p = 0.008) and functional well-being (p = 0.001)/(p = 0.001)); body image in the total score (p = 0.001)/(p = 0.001) and in the subscales body image (p = 0.046)/(p = 0.010), body care (p = 0.026)/(p = 0.010) and body touch (p = 0.013)/(p = 0.022); fatigue (p = 0.006)/(p = 0.003).

CONCLUSION:

Based on these findings, future research could delve deeper into understanding the long-term effects of Mat Pilates interventions on quality of life, body image, and fatigue levels among survivors of head and neck cancer. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER RBR-3BS8XC6.
Incorporate Mat Pilates programs into rehabilitation protocols for head and neck cancer survivors to potentially improve their quality of life.Emphasize the importance of addressing body image concerns through targeted Mat Pilates exercises, focusing on body awareness and self-care.Provide ongoing support and encouragement to patients participating in Mat Pilates interventions to ensure adherence and maximize therapeutic benefits.
