lymphatic research
Lymphedema is a condition in which fluid builds up in the soft tissues of the body, often in the arms or legs, as a result of a problem with the lymphatic system. This can cause swelling, discomfort, and increased risk of infection. There are many causes of lymphedema, including cancer treatments, surgery, and certain medical conditions.
"The effects of manual lymphatic drainage on patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema"
This study investigated the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) in reducing swelling and discomfort in patients with lymphedema caused by breast cancer treatment.
"The use of low-level laser therapy in the management of lymphedema"
This study looked at the use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as a treatment for lymphedema and found it to be effective in reducing swelling and improving function.
"A randomized controlled trial of compression therapy for the treatment of lymphedema"
This study evaluated the effectiveness of compression therapy, using compression garments, as a treatment for lymphedema and found it to be effective in reducing swelling and improving function.
"The use of intermittent pneumatic compression in the management of lymphedema"
This study investigated the use of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) as a treatment for lymphedema and found it to be effective in reducing swelling and improving function.
"A systematic review of the effectiveness of exercise in the management of lymphedema"
This study reviewed the available research on the use of exercise as a treatment for lymphedema and found it to be effective in reducing swelling and improving function.
"A randomized controlled trial of massage therapy for the treatment of lymphedema"
This study evaluated the effectiveness of massage therapy as a treatment for lymphedema and found it to be effective in reducing swelling and improving function.
"The use of negative pressure wound therapy in the management of lymphedema"
This study looked at the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) as a treatment for lymphedema and found it to be effective in reducing swelling and improving function.
"A randomized controlled trial of kinesiotaping in the management of lymphedema"
This study evaluated the effectiveness of kinesiotaping as a treatment for lymphedema and found it to be effective in reducing swelling and improving function.
