Arm group label:
Physical therapy program with lymphedema drainage
Summary:
Effects of a physical therapy program combined with manual lymphatic drainage on shoulder
pain and function, quality of life, lymphedema incidence in breast cancer patients with
axillary web syndrome following axillary dissection: A randomized controlled trial.
Detailed description:
This study's objective is to assess the effectiveness of physical therapy (PT) combined
with manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) on shoulder pain and function, lymphedema, visible
cords, and quality of life (QOL), compared to physical therapy alone, in subjects with
breast cancer and suffering of axillary web syndrome (AWS).
Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- had a breast cancer dissection with lymphadenectomy and/or sentinel lymph node
biopsy and a subsequent appearance of AWS (diagnosed by physical examination and
also by using the Screening Test AWS (ST-AWS)) [35].
- suffering of pain that exceeds 6-8 points (measured by the numeric rating scale
(NRS)) in the region of the cording on the upper/lower arm, elbow, and dorsum
site, and
- have visible or palpable cords in the arm or breast.
Exclusion Criteria:
- suffering of both acute thrombosis and lymphedema,
- suffering of skin issues like infections or musculoskeletal conditions like
adhesive capsulitis, rheumatoid arthritis, pectoral muscle tightness, and
diseases of the rotator cuff, and/or
- having cording that doesn't involve an arm and only affects the chest or side
