Complex decongestive therapy and taping for patients with postmastectomy lymphedema: a randomized controlled study.
The purpose of our study was to investigate the effects of Kinesio Taping(®) Application with Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) in patients with lymphedema. ⋯ Kinesio Taping(®) Application along with CDT may have a better effect on decreasing lymphedema which can stimulate the reduction of edema for long term effects.
