Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Does TENS reduce postoperative pain? Does TENS prevent postoperative lymphedema? Does TENS increase postoperative shoulder range of motion? Does TENS improve postoperative quality of life? The researchers will compare the effects of TENS after breast surgery with a control group.
Participants will be assessed for pain, lymphedema development, and shoulder range of motion before surgery, on the first day after surgery, at the first month after surgery, and at the third month after surgery. Quality of life will be assessed before surgery, at the first month after surgery, and at the third month after surgery.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
TENS group
Patients in this group will receive TENS treatment for 1 month after surgery.
TENS
After the surgery, 2 TENS electrodes will be placed on the inner part of the upper arm of the patient's arm on the side where surgery was performed, and the frequency will be 100 Hz, the pulse duration will be 100 µs and the amplitude will be adjusted so as not to cause muscle contraction, and a 20-minute TENS application will be performed.
Control group
Patients in this group do not receive TENS application after surgery.
No interventions assigned to this group
