Overview

Systematic review and meta-analysis reveal exercise and compression strategies may manage lymphedema symptoms in women.

Key Points

  • No significant overall reduction in limb volume was found, showing mixed effectiveness of interventions.
  • Improvements observed in pain and quality of life from exercise and compression therapy in multiple studies.
  • Assessment involved randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies from six major databases.
  • Findings suggest safe management strategies for lower limb lymphedema after gynecological cancer treatment.
