New hope for reducing chronic arm swelling in cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT03760744
Summary
This study tested whether adding a gentle suction therapy to standard massage and compression treatment works better for reducing arm swelling (lymphedema) that occurs after cancer surgery. Researchers enrolled 18 women with this chronic condition and used special MRI scans to see if the combined therapy improved fluid drainage and quality of life more than standard treatment alone.
