Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (EVA) and Numerical Categorical Scale. The Analog Visual Scale is a line with the numbers numbered 0-10. At one end of the line is marked "no pain" and the other "worst pain imaginable". The Numerical Categorical Scale is a scale ranging from 0 to 10, which 0 represents no pain and 10 the worst pain imaginable.;Fatigue will be analyzed by the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI). From 0 to 3 corresponds to light fatigue; from 4 to 6 corresponds to moderate fatigue; from 7 to 10 corresponds to severe fatigue.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Depression assessed by a score above 9 on the Beck Depression Scale before and after 8 and 16 weeks after the end of treatment.;Flexibility benchmarked by the Wells Bank, whose model is the Banco De Wells Portable Instant Unisex Pro of the SANNY brand. Whose scores vary between excellent; above average; average; below average; bad according to age.; Functionality analyzed by the questionnaire Arm, shoulder and hand dysfunctions or Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH). Whose scores range from less than or equal to 0.20 which corresponds to a very low level of functionality; 0.21 to 0.40 which corresponds to a low level of functionality; 0.41 to 0.60 which corresponds to a moderate level of functionality; 0.61 to 0.80 which corresponds to a high functionality level; 0.81 to 1.0 which corresponds to a very high level of functionality.; Sexual function assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire (FSFI). High scores indicate better function; scores less than or equal to 26.0 indicate sexual dysfunction; maximum score is 36;Strength measured by the Crown Dorsal Dynamometer. Scores vary by sex; men have a minimum score of 42.50 kfg and a maximum score of 194.00 kfg; women have a minimum score of 16.90 kfg and a maximum score of 104.00 kfg.; Quality of life assessed by the EORTC questionnaire QLQ C30 and EORTC BR23. In EORTC QLQ C30 the high scores for functional scales and global health scales indicate a good quality of life; high scores on the scale of symptoms represent a high level of problems. In EORTC BR23 high scores on the functionality scale represent high levels of functionality; High scores on the scale of symptoms correspond to high level of symptoms;Quality of sleep assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Scores from 0 to 4 correspond to good sleep quality; scores from 5 to 10 correspond to poor sleep quality; scores greater than 10 indicate the presence of sleep disturbance.;Body composition Bo
