Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of our study is to compare the effects of clinical Pilates and yoga training on lymphedema, upper limb muscle strength, proprioception, functions and quality of life in women with lymphedema after breast cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

A total of 60 post breast cancer lymphedema individuals will be included in our study. The study will be performed in individuals who live in T.R.N.C and who develop mild, moderate or severe lymphedema after breast cancer in the 35-70 age range. A randomized controlled trial design with three groups were used; 1) A Hatha yoga intervention group, 2) Clinical Pilates intervention group, 3) Control group. Individuals in the intervention groups will be given 24 sessions of yoga or Clinical Pilates training 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Control group will not receive any treatment. During the training, and control group individuals will be asked to wear compression stockings during the 8 weeks and an educational booklet will be given to the each group. The yoga classes included a progression of low-impact, modified poses, stretching and isometric exercises focused on the shoulders, arms, and chest, and meditation. Breathing and poses to drain the lymphatic system were incorporated throughout the yoga practice to assist with lymphatic flow. Before starting the Clinical Pilates exercise program, the patients will be trained on Pilates exercises and postures. During training, the patients will be taught how to create lumbopelvic stability (core stabilization), which is the basis for Pilates exercises, and spinal stabilization and appropriate posture techniques. As a result of the research, the data will be analyzed to determine which treatment method is more effective in lymphedematous individuals. ;
