TLDR
The results of this study will provide information on the effectiveness of Manual Lymphatic Drainage and its impact on the quality of life and physical limitations of these patients, as well as the improvement of the concomitant symptomatology.Abstract:
Background
Lymphoedema is a common and troublesome condition that develops following breast cancer treatment. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of Manual Lymphatic Drainage in the treatment of postmastectomy lymphoedema in order to reduce the volume of lymphoedema and evaluate the improvement of the concomitant symptomatology.read more

Alexandru Mioc,Corina Pantea +1 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the association of manual lymphatic drainage to physical exercise and physiotherapy has produced changes in the volume of the limb affected by the lymphedema; however, its isolated use has not resulted in significant changes.
Manual lymphatic drainage in chronic venous disease
TL;DR: Patients with moderate CVD have lower FV during calf muscles contraction but similar muscle anatomical characteristics compared with healthy controls, and Reproducibility of ultrasound evaluation of calf pump is acceptable within the same session but is unsatisfactory when testing in separate days.

TL;DR: HRQOL was lower for BrCa survivors with diagnosed lymphedema and for those with arm symptoms without diagnosed lyMPhedema in the IWHS, according to a dose-response relation between number of arm symptoms and lower HRQOL.

TL;DR: It is suggested that CB on its own should be considered as a primary treatment option in reducing arm lymphedema volume, as well as manual lymph drainage massage in combination with multi-layered compression bandaging.

TL;DR: The study showed that both groups obtained a significant reduction in edema and that MLD did not contribute significantly to reduce edema volume.
