The gynoidlypodystrophy, known as cellulitis or cellulite, refers to a condition that gives the skin an undulating and uneven appearance, affecting 80-90% of women after puberty.
to investigate the efficacy and safety of manual lymphatic drainage for cellulite management.
this was an open, prospective, intervention study including 20 women aged from 20 to 40 years. Fourteen sessions of manual lymphatic drainage were performed once a week on lower limbs and buttocks.
Fifteen women completed the study. A significant improvement on quality of life was observed (p=0.018). A significant reduction (p=0.023), estimated at 0.3 ± 0.8 cm, in hip circumference was found, but no difference was found in thighs circumference (p>0.05). A significant reduction elastic recuperation of skin on buttocks, which means skin elasticity worsening, was observed. All measures obtained by ultrasound images showed no changes (p>0.05).
manual lymphatic drainage was safe but not effective as an isolated approach for cellulite management. Further randomized, controlled or comparative studies about manual lymphatic drainage for cellulite control, as unique or combined therapeutic modality, are necessary.
女性臀部脂肪营养不良，即蜂窝织炎或脂肪团，是一种使皮肤呈现起伏不平外观的病症，青春期后80%-90%的女性受其影响。
研究手法淋巴引流治疗脂肪团的疗效和安全性。
这是一项开放性前瞻性干预研究，纳入20名年龄在20至40岁之间的女性。每周对下肢和臀部进行一次手法淋巴引流，共进行14次。
15名女性完成了研究。观察到生活质量有显著改善（p=0.018）。发现臀围显著减小（p=0.023），估计减小0.3±0.8厘米，但大腿围没有差异（p>0.05）。观察到臀部皮肤弹性恢复显著降低，这意味着皮肤弹性变差。超声图像测量的所有指标均无变化（p>0.05）。
手法淋巴引流作为治疗脂肪团的单一方法是安全的，但无效。有必要进一步开展关于手法淋巴引流作为治疗脂肪团唯一或联合治疗方式的随机对照或比较研究。
