Self-physiotherapy for lymphedema
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a self-guided physiotherapy program can help manage lymphedema (arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you have had breast cancer-related lymphedema for a while and haven't had recent treatment for it, this study may offer a way to take control of your symptoms.
