It’s well known the correlation of head and neck neoplasms and tobacco, and that its functional disorders, which are similar to those ofChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of the physical therapy on such disorders before the surgical procedure for head and neck cancers. We have studied 46 head and neck cancer patients under evaliiation for head and neck cancer. It has been done, in the preoperatory period, the assessment of the Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (porcentagefor the anticipate theoric volume - MVV%), Karnofsky Performance Scale and muscular respiratory examination, before and after 10 sessions with the following routine: inhalation associated with Respiratory Muscle Pattern and threshold. The statistical analysis showed that the samples for the muscular evaluation (MIP, MVV% and muscular respiratory examination) are different and thus we can conclude that physical therapy is effective in the treatment of the functional disorders caused by COPD.
