BackgroundLymphoedema 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.MethodsA randomized, controlled clinical trial in 58 women with post-mastectomy lymphoedema. The control group includes 29 patients with standard treatment (skin care, exercise and compression measures, bandages for one month and, subsequently, compression garnments). The experimental group includes 29 patients with standard treatment plus Manual Lymphatic Drainage. The therapy will be administered daily for four weeks and the patient's condition will be assessed one, three and six months after treatment.The primary outcome parameter is volume reduction of the affected arm after treatment, expressed as a percentage. Secondary outcome parameters include: duration of lymphoedema reduction and improvement of the concomitant symptomatology (degree of pain, sensation of swelling and functional limitation in the affected extremity, subjective feeling of being physically less atractive and less feminine, difficulty looking at oneself naked and dissatisfaction with the corporal image).DiscussionThe 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.Trial registrationClinicalTrials (NCT): NCT01152099

Introduction: Cellulite is one of the complications post liposuction. Cellulite causes changes in the lymphatic system. Manual lymphatic drainage is utilized as an effective treatment for enhancing cellulite. Aim: This study was applied to compare between Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Technique and Casley-Smith MLD Technique for cellulite after liposuction. Material and methods: Thirty female patients with cellulite grade 3 after thigh liposuction participated in the study, and they were randomly divided into two equal groups: Group (A) that received Vodder MLD Technique and Bandage and Group (B) that received Casley-Smith MLD Technique and Bandage. The duration of the intervention was 8 weeks per participant, and each participant received 3 sessions per week. Results: The results revealed that there was a significant improvement in both groups by using two different methods of treatment (p < 0.001), but there was no significant difference between the two study groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Both Vodder technique and Casley-Smith technique are effective in treatment of cellulite after thigh liposuction but there is no difference between them, hence any technique of MLD is recommended to achieve better improvement in this case.
