“…Although many studies have contributed to underlining the importance of starting physiotherapy as early as possible once AWS has been diagnosed, there is still no unanimous consent regarding the most effective treatment, nor are there other studies that assess the e cacy of a rehabilitation protocol [6][7][8][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Our study aim was to test the superiority of a manual treatment protocol compared with the established and standardized stretching exercises used for treatment of AWS.…”

“…It is widely accepted among physiotherapists that AWS requires rehabilitation assistance to prevent possible further complications, such as frozen shoulder or impingement syndrome, which could lead to a reduction of the quality of life of patients as well as to a signi cant increase in time and cost of treatment [8,10]. Notwithstanding, a standardized rehabilitation protocol is currently missing in clinical practice [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

BACKGROUNDAxillary Web Syndrome (AWS) is one of the most frequent conditions after surgical axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). The key symptom is the functional disability of the limb, which requires rehabilitation. Notwithstanding, a standardized rehabilitation protocol is currently lacking in clinical practice. Our primary objective therefore, was to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a snapping manual maneuver (used in our clinical practice) in enhance range of motion (ROM) when compared with a standardized stretching exercise protocol. A three-year follow-up of the enrolled patients was also carried out to determine the incidence of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL). MATERIAL AND METHODSBetween July 2013 and January 2019 we conducted a single blinded randomized clinical trial. ALND patients with subsequent appearance of clinical symptoms of AWS were randomly assigned into two groups who underwent one treatment session per week for two weeks with a one month follow-up. RESULTSThere were no statically signi cant differences in ROM at our one month follow-up and the incidence of BCRL was equally distributed after three years. CONCLUSION the addition of the manual snapping maneuver in a rehabilitation protocol was not better than a stretching exercise and does not appear to be a risk factor for lymphedema.

“…Ancak bazı çalışmalar NSAİİ kullanımının AWS'nin süresini kısaltmadığını bildirmişlerdir 1 . NSAİİ'lerin esas kullanım amacı ağrı yönetimi ve hastaların fizik tedavi yöntemleri tolere etmelerini sağlamaktır 17 . Ek olarak literatürde opoid, salisilat, doksisiklin ve atkestanesi kullanımı önerilen vakalar mevcuttur.…”

Öz Axillary web syndrome (AWS) is a clinical syndrome that usually seen after surgical intervention to axillary region. Fibrosis surrounded sclerotic vein and lymphatic tissue (cording), can extends from axilla to arm and hand. AWS can limit off shoulder range of motion (ROM) and can be the cause of shoulder pain. In the case we share, it is noteworthy that any predisposing factor does not exist. 41-year-old male patient was admitted our outpatient clinic with pain and feeling of tension on the right axilla which started 2 weeks ago during the daily activities. On the physical examination there was a subcutaneous cord that was visible from the right axillary region to the middle of the right arm. His right shoulder movements were limited and painful. The patient was prescribed oral nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID), electrotherapy program and shoulder stretching/strengthening exercises. After 2 months, on the re-examination, his right shoulder ROM was painless and in normal range; the subcutaneous cording had completely recovered. Clinicians should consider AWS, in differential diagnosis in patients with axillary region/shoulder pain and shoulder ROM limitation. These patients may benefit from appropriate combination therapies that include physical therapy modalities and NSAIDs.
