Core exercises and taping for breast cancer lymphedema
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests whether core exercises (for your trunk and back) plus special tape can reduce lymphedema swelling and pain after breast cancer treatment. It may help if you have mild to moderate lymphedema and some back or neck discomfort.

This study tests a treatment called complex decongestive physiotherapy for women who have swelling in one arm after breast cancer surgery. It looks at whether this therapy can improve their sleep and overall quality of life.
This trial tests whether Kinesio taping, a special type of elastic tape, can reduce long-term swelling in the breast or upper body (trunk) after breast cancer treatment. If you have had breast cancer and still have swelling lasting more than six months, this study may help find a new way to manage that swelling.
This study tests whether a combined exercise program can help reduce breast cancer-related lymphedema (arm swelling). If you have stable lymphedema after breast cancer surgery, exercise may improve your symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests whether virtual reality-based exercises can help reduce leg swelling caused by lymphedema after gynecological or other cancer surgery. It may be a good option if you have lymphedema in one leg and can commit to daily sessions for a month.
This study compares two non-drug treatments for breast swelling (lymphedema) that can happen after breast-conserving surgery and radiation. It tests whether special tape (Kinesio Taping) works as well as compression therapy to reduce swelling and symptoms.
This study tests whether combining arm exercises with pneumatic compression therapy (using a sleeve that inflates and deflates to reduce swelling) can help women with breast cancer-related lymphedema (arm swelling). It aims to see if this combination reduces arm swelling and improves arm function.
