Filter by:In the literature, research into the examination of the effect of MLD on migraine is quite limited. Our study aimed to examine the effectiveness of manual lymph drainage and connective tissue massage treatments on neck pain and disability, sleep quality, pain threshold and severity, depression and quality of life.
When the other usage areas of the manual lymphatic drainage technique in the literature, except for the treatment of lymphedema, were examined recently, it was seen that it was also applied in orthopedic and neurological cases in a limited number of studies. The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage on clinical and electrophysiological findings in carpal tunnel syndrome
The aim of this observer-blinded randomized controlled trial is the evaluation of the influence of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) on the outcome of patients receiving total knee replacement (TKA).
There are studies investigating the effect of different massage methods on muscle fascia stiffness but the results do not support each other. In addition, there is no study to investigate the effect of MLD on muscle fascia stiffness. The aim of this study is to determine the acute effect of MLD and classical (Swedish) massage (KM) on muscle fascia stiffness after exercise.
One of the most common conservative treatments of lymphoedema is Complex Decongestive Physiotherapy (CDP). The bandage is one of the most important components of the treatment process. The multilayer short-stretch bandage is used to maintain volume reduction and prevent lymph backflow caused by compression. However, some patients refuse or postpone treatment or show a lower compliance with compression bandaging.Kinesio® Tex tape (KT) is a new technique for managing lymphoedema in the field of physical and alternative therapy, and it may affect decongestion of lymphatic fluid accumulated under the skin. Some studies which showed that KT was an effective for patients with BCRL, it was applied on both the affected arm and anastomosis. One of these studies also reported that a significant reduction in limb volume in patients who were applied of the tape only to the affected arm. This significant effect could also be seen by applying KT only to the anastomosis. In literature, however, there is no evidence to support this theory. So the aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of KT which was applied to anastomotic regions along with CDP in the management of BCRL.
