Official Title: Effects of Kinesiology Taping Technique in Post-mastectomy Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema on Swelling, Upper Limb Function, and Strength

Study ID: NCT05178797

Conditions

Post Mastectomy Lymphedema

Interventions

Kinesiology taping technique with exercise therapy

Compression decongestive therapy

Study Description

Brief Summary: Generally, Breast cancer related to lymphedema is commonly found in the female population after mastectomy. It has many complications which affects the normal functions of an individual and quality of life. This randomized control trial will be conducted on patients who are admitted as patients after mastectomy to determine the effects of kinesiology taping technique in post mastectomy breast cancer related lymphedema on swelling, upper limb function and strength.

Detailed Description: Generally, Breast cancer related to lymphedema is commonly found in the female population after mastectomy. It has many complications which affects the normal functions of an individual and quality of life. Traditional therapies like compression decongestive therapies and kinesiology taping techniques are used for the management of post mastectomy breast cancer related lymphedema.This randomized control trial will be conducted on patients who are admitted as patients after mastectomy to determine the effects of kinesiology taping technique in post mastectomy breast cancer related lymphedema on swelling, upper limb function and strength. Total 50 patients with post mastectomy who fulfill the inclusion criteria will be selected after taking consent. The subjects will be allocated into two groups through simple random sampling. Subjects ingroup A will be given kinesiology taping technique and exercise therapy whereas; patients in group B will be given compression decongestive therapy (manual lymphatic drainage, short stretch bandage and exercise therapy). All subjects will be assessed using assessment form, upper limb functional index, dynamometer, pinch meter and tape measure. Assessment will be conducted at base line, after 2 \& 4 weeks.
