Breast Cancer Lymphedema Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Kinesiotaping and Pressure Garment on Old Adult Women With Secondary Upper Extremity Lymphedema Following Mastectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Breast cancer is a standout amongst the most widely recognized cancer among women. It is
observed that upper extremity lymphedema is one of the most dangerous and prevalent
complication following breast cancer surgery which prompts functional impairment,
psychological disaster and social problems
This study aimed to compare the effects of Kinesio taping and the pressure garment
application on secondary lymphedema of the upper extremity and quality of life following
mastectomy after breast cancer.
Material and Methods: In this experimental study with pre and post-tests, 66 women with
lymphedema following mastectomy were randomly allocated to Kinesio taping (KT) group (n=33)
and pressure garment (PG) group (n=33). The KT group received Kinesio taping application,
while the PG group received pressure garment (40-60 mmHg) for at least 15-18 hours per day
through the study. All patients were evaluated to record the changes of the limb
circumference, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), hand grip strength and quality of
life at baseline and end of intervention.
66 women with unilateral breast cancer related to lymphedema (stage II and III) for at least
for 6 months were invited to participate in the study. Lymphoma was more than 2 cm in arm
circumference or less than 8 cm in comparison with the other side. The participants were
randomly assigned to 2 groups. Kinesio taping group included 33 patients receiving Kinesio
taping (KT) and pressure garment (PG) included 33 patients.
The exclusion criteria were any active disease which leads to swelling, medications,
especially diuretics, allergy, infection, pregnancy, heart and kidney diseases, bilateral
lymphedema and cellulitis.
All patients were evaluated to record the changes of the limb circumference, Shoulder Pain
and Disability Index (SPADI), hand grip strength and quality of life
