Objective To observe the effect of mirror therapy on persistent pain after breast cancer surgery,and to improve the quali-ty of life of the patients. Methods From September,2016 to June,2017,62 patients with persistent pain after breast cancer surgery were selected. They were randomly divided into control group(n=31)and mirror group(n=31).Both groups received routine re-habilitation,and the mirror group received mirror action in addition,30 minutes every time,five times a week for four weeks. The severity of pain was assessed with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) before treatment, and four weeks,eight weeks and twelve weeks after treatment.The quality of life was assessed with European Organiza-tion for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-30(EORTC QLQ-C30). Results Eight and twelve weeks after treatment,the NRS score was lower in the mirror group than in the control group (F>5.907,P<0.05).Twelve weeks after treatment,the total health status score of EORTC QLQ-C30 was higher in the mirror group than in the control group(t=2.128,P<0.05). Conclusion Mirror therapy could relieve the persistent pain after breast cancer surgery, and may help to improve the quality of life of the patients.
