Actual (reported)The purpose of this study is to: Find out the efficacy of using complete decongestive physiotherapy on limb volume in advanced secondary upper and lower extremity lymphedema patients. Find out the efficacy of compression bandaging on limb volume in advanced lymphedema patients. This study was conducted to compare between the efficacy of complete decongestive therapy (CDT) and compression bandaging in advanced secondary lower extremity lymphedema.

Complete decongestive therapy (CDT) is also known as complex decongestive therapy. It involves a two-stage treatment protocol. The first stage consists of skin care, manual lymph drainage, exercises and compression with multi-layered bandages. The second stage aims to optimize and conserve the volume reduction obtained in stage one. This is achieved by using a low-stretch elastic garment in combination with skin care and exercises
External compression is the mainstay of management for all stages of lymphedema. The efficacy of compression therapy alone, or combined with MLD, has been supported by randomized clinical trials
