Kinesio Taping Versus Compression Garments for Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema

NCT03051776 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2017-10-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) tends to become chronic and progressive. Current therapies have modest results for this condition. Compression garments (CG) prevent the worsening of lymphedema and even improve it, during periods between treatments of physical therapy. Kinesio Taping(KT) is being recently used for lymphedema, although little evidence backs it. The aim of this study is to compare the reduction of lymphedema volume with both therapies.
