Complex decongestive therapy is the mainstay of lymphedema (LE) therapy. It consists of two phases: an intensive volume reduction phase, principally involving low-stretch bandages and manual lymph drainage (MLD), followed by compression garment use to maintain the reduction achieved. Adjunctive treatments include the use of a sequential gradient pump, LE-specific exercises, skin and nail care, as well as risk-reduction precautions. Herein the techniques are described and the evidence for their effectiveness is reviewed.
综合消肿疗法是淋巴水肿(LE)治疗的主要方法。它包括两个阶段:一个强化的容积减少阶段,主要涉及低弹性绷带和手法淋巴引流(MLD),随后使用压力衣来维持所达到的消肿效果。辅助治疗包括使用序贯梯度泵、针对淋巴水肿的特定锻炼、皮肤和指甲护理以及降低风险的预防措施。本文将描述这些技术,并综述其有效性的证据。
