(1) Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide. Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a serious complication that develops as a result of damage or dysfunction of the normal functioning lymphatic system. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping in the treatment of BCRL based on randomized controlled trials. (2) This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Four electronic databases were searched: PubMed, Cochrane, PEDro, and Google Scholar. This study included female patients with any stage of lymphedema after mastectomy. There were no restrictions on age, race, or nationality. (3) The literature search yielded 608 results. Eight articles met all required eligibility criteria and were included in this study. A diverse range of physical therapy interventions were used, and efficacy was measured using a variety of outcomes and measures. The summarized results indicate that Kinesio Taping applications had a positive effect on a range of outcomes, including upper limb circumference, pain, ROM, and functional status. (4) Given the modest evidence supporting the use of Kinesio Taping for the treatment of BCRL, there is a need for further prospective studies.
(1)乳腺癌是全球女性中最常见的恶性肿瘤之一。乳腺癌相关淋巴水肿(BCRL)是一种严重的并发症,是正常功能的淋巴系统受损或功能障碍所致。本综述旨在基于随机对照试验评估肌内效贴布在治疗BCRL中的有效性。(2)本综述按照系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)声明进行。检索了四个电子数据库:PubMed、Cochrane、PEDro和谷歌学术。本研究纳入了乳房切除术后任何阶段淋巴水肿的女性患者。对年龄、种族或国籍没有限制。(3)文献检索产生了608条结果。八篇文章符合所有要求的纳入标准并被纳入本研究。使用了多种物理治疗干预措施,并使用各种结局指标进行疗效评估。汇总结果表明,肌内效贴布应用对一系列结局指标有积极影响,包括上肢周长、疼痛、关节活动度和功能状态。(4)鉴于支持使用肌内效贴布治疗BCRL的证据有限,有必要进行进一步的前瞻性研究。
