Overview

Prospective randomized study shows that compression stockings lower lower limb lymphedema incidence in women, suggesting effective prophylaxis.

Key Points

  • The incidence of lower limb lymphedema was significantly lower in the compression group at 3.4%, compared to 38% in the no-compression group.
  • Compliance with compression therapy was high, and patients reported good comfort and usability throughout the study period.
  • Results demonstrated significant reductions in limb volume and symptom severity after using medium-pressure compression stockings.
  • Quality of life improved for participants receiving compression therapy in conjunction with standard education and physical activity guidance.
