Impact of Manual Lymphatic Drainage on Postoperative Edema of the Face &

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

Orthognathic surgery aims to standardize position of the maxilla and the mandible and therefore chewing, breathing, phonation and swallowing functions. In postoperative, several physical and functional consequences are observed in patients: transient edema of the face, maxillo-mandibular blocking (causing difficulties to eat and occasional weight loss), pain and sensory disturbances (labial or/and chin paresthesias).

Achieving sessions of manual lymphatic drainage by physiotherapist may allow faster decrease of postoperative edema, improved postoperative comfort and mental well-being.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of sessions of manual lymphatic drainage to reduce postoperative edema. Secondary objectives of the study are to assess impact of sessions of manual lymphatic drainage on patient comfort (pain, aesthetic discomfort, difficulty in breathing and discomfort in swallowing) and on ental well-being.

Patients allocated to the intervention group will have 13 sessions of manual lymphatic drainage and those allocated in control group will not.

Edema of patients will be measured at day 1, day 8, day 15 and day 22 after surgery by a different physiotherapist than physiotherapist achieving drainage sessions, blind to the randomization group of the patient. At the same time, comfort criteria will be assessed by a visual analogue scale and mental well-being with the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ28). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
