Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of compression bandage and compression device in the treatment of patients with breast cancer with mild to moderate upper extremity secondary mastectomy with secondary lymphedema.Methods: The present study was conducted on 80 female patients with unilateral upper extremity lymphadenopathy diagnosed postoperatively in women with breast cancer who underwent mastectomy. Only bandage was applied to the control group (n=40); intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) and bandage (n=40) were applied to the treatment group. All patients received treatment for a total of 15 sessions for 5 weeks, 3 days/week. After all the patients’ age and body mass index (BMI) were recorded, the shoulder joint range of motions (ROMs) were measured by goniometer, circumferential measurements were measured by tape measure 4 times and on days 5, 10, and 15, and the Q-DASH functional disability scale was evaluated. The SPSS 22.0 package program was used for statistical analyzes. A p value
