Trial Identification
Brief Title: Effectiveness of Accelerated Intervention With Compression Sleeve in Mild and Moderate Breast Cancer-related Lymphedema
Official Title: Effectiveness of Accelerated Intervention With Custom-made Compression Sleeve in Women With Mild and Moderate Arm Lymphedema Secondary to Breast Cancer Treatment
Study ID: NCT01954654
Study Description
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether accelerated treatment with custom-made compression sleeve is more effective than standard procedure in the treatment of mild and moderate arm lymphedema secondary to primary cancer treatment.
Detailed Description: Use of a custom-made compression sleeve is an initial treatment of mild and moderate arm lymphedema secondary to primary breast cancer treatment. The compression sleeve improves the flow of lymph fluid out of the arm, reduces the swelling, and prevents progression of the lymphedema in the future. Early intervention is recommended though early is not well-defined in literature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate reduction of excess limb volume and changes in arm disability and clinical symptoms in accelerated treatment with compression sleeve compared to standard treatment.
