The effect of Combined Decongestive Therapy and pneumatic compression pump on body image in women with breast cancer related lymphedema
Introduction: Patients with breast cancer who have two positive axillary lymph nodes, along with mastectomy, they undergo axillary node dissection. Lymphedema after axillary surgery is a feared complication. This women experience pain and body image impairments. Any intervention to reduce lymphedema, affects the body image of these patients. Method: This study is a randomized, single-blind clin...

introduction: breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. one complication after mastectomy following breast cancer is ipsilateral upper extremity lymphedema. this study aims to compare the effect of complex decongestive physical (cdp) therapy with a combination of intermittent pneumatic compression pump and cdp therapy on secondary upper extremity lymphedema volume and quality...
full textIntermittent pneumatic compression acts synergistically with manual lymphatic drainage in complex decongestive physiotherapy for breast cancer treatment-related lymphedema.
The application of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) as a part of complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the combination of IPC with manual lymph drainage (MLD) could improve CDP treatment outcomes in women with secondary lymphedema after breast cancer treatment. A randomized study was undertaken with 13 subjects r...
