Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of balance exercises performed with the BOSU ball added to complete decongestive treatment on static and dynamic balance in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema.


Clinical Trial Description

The study was planned as a randomized controlled study. The patients who had unilateral breast cancer-associated lymphedema according to the 2020 diagnostic criteria of the International Society of Lymphology for at least six months and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly divided into 2 groups. The trial will be carried out at Pamukkale University Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation PAUTERM between December 2023 and June 2025. The local ethics committee approved the study. All women will be informed about the purpose and content of the study and all women will sign written consent to participate in the study. Group1: Group receiving balance exercise with BOSU Ball added to complete decongestive treatment (Intervention group) Complete decongestive treatment program consists of manual lymph drainage, multi-layer bandaging, skin/nail care and exercise treatments. The treatment will last 45 minutes/session, 5 sessions/week and 3 weeks. Patients in the intervention group will also receive balance exercises with a BOSU ball. These exercises will be performed in 2 sets, 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Each set will last 15 minutes. It will take 15 sessions in total. These exercises include 10 balance exercise movements performed on a bosu ball. Group 2: Group receiving complete decongestive treatment (Active control group) Patients in this group will receive only a complete decongestive treatment program consisting manual lymph drainage, multilayer bandaging, skin/nail care, and exercise treatments. The treatment will last 45 minutes/session, 5 sessions/week and 3 weeks. All patients will be evaluated with the following evaluation parameters before the treatment and at the time of discharge. ;
