Objective To explore the application of mouthwash exercise method and neck rehabilitation exercises in postoperative rehabilitation of thyroid surgery. Methods 80 patients who underwent thyroid surgery in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (40 cases, who received neck rehabilitation exercise training on the basis of routine nursing) and an observation group (40 cases, who received mouthwash exercise training on the basis of the control group). The incidence of scar spasms, neck mobility, and incidence of adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups of patients. Results The incidence of scar spasms in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the neck mobility of the observation group was significantly better compared to the control group. In addition, the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group. Conclusion The use of mouthwash exercise combined with neck rehabilitation exercises in postoperative rehabilitation of thyroid surgery has a significant effect, which can reduce the incidence of spasms, improve neck mobility, and effectively reduce the incidence of adverse reactions in patients. It has good application value.
