Effects of esters' cetylated fatty acids taping for chronic neck pain with mobility deficit in patients with breast cancer.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of a protocol treatment based on inelastic adhesive tape with cetylated fatty acids (CFAs) esters in breast cancer survivors with chronic neck pain.

Methods: In this observational study, patients have been visited for chronic neck pain using numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain assessment, Neck Disability Index (NDI) for disability caused by neck pain, and range of movement (ROM) measures for cervical mobility. Scales have been performed at T0, after 15 days of treatment (T1) and successively after 15 days of stop treatment (T2).
