Breast cancer is the most common female cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of yoga on lymphedema in breast cancer survivors.
Repeated measures before and after the intervention. We enrolled 15 women with breast cancer who had not previously worn elastic clothing to treat lymphedema.
The program was led by a certified trainer and consisted of 60-minute sessions, three times a week for 12 weeks. The volumes of the affected and normal limbs were measured. A self-assessed edema score was also recorded.
Fifteen patients completed the program, none of whom suffered from complications related to exercise. There was no significant edema after exercise. No significant differences were noted in subgroup analysis by age or the affected arm.
Yoga does not induce lymphedema.
Lymphedema is usually treated with uncomfortable elastic clothing, and high-resistance exercise may induce edema. Yoga may be suitable for these patients.
乳腺癌是最常见的女性癌症。本研究的目的是评估瑜伽对乳腺癌幸存者淋巴水肿的影响。
干预前后的重复测量。我们招募了15名未曾穿着弹性衣物治疗淋巴水肿的乳腺癌女性患者。
该项目由一名认证教练指导，每次课程时长60分钟，每周三次，共12周。测量患侧和正常肢体的体积。还记录了自我评估的水肿评分。
15名患者完成了该项目，无一例出现与运动相关的并发症。运动后无明显水肿。在按年龄或患侧手臂进行的亚组分析中未发现显著差异。
瑜伽不会诱发淋巴水肿。
淋巴水肿通常用穿着不适的弹性衣物治疗，而高阻力运动可能诱发水肿。瑜伽可能适合这些患者。
