Lymphoedema and Nocturia/ Nocturnal Polyuria After Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection for Urogenital Cancer
After the treatment of urogenital cancer, a person may develop lymphoedema of the leg(s) and/ or midline region. Lymphoedema is the result of a dysfunction in the lymphatic system and is characterized by excessive retention of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial compartment, adipose deposition and chronic tissue inflammation resulting in …
Manual Lymph Drainage for External Lymphedema
This study will evaluate the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial. The future randomized controlled trial will compare two groups following different intensities of manual lymphatic drainage for external head- and neck lymphedema among persons treated with radiotherapy for head- and neck cancer.
Prospective Surveillance for Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema
This randomized trial will test the effect of a prospective surveillance program for early detection and subclinical management of breast cancer-related lymphedema on the prevalence of chronic lymphedema.
Shock Wave Therapy for Lower Limb Lymphedema
This is a double-blind randomized clinical trial to compare the effect of shock wave therapy on lower limb lymphedema. There are two arms: A) complex decongestive therapy + extracorporeal shock waves therapy; B) complex decongestive therapy plus placebo extracorporeal shock waves.
LymphoVenous Anastomosis to Prevent Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema
Lymphedema is defined as a chronic condition, caused by lymphostasis. A major part in the Western world consists of iatrogenic lymphedema caused by surgery to the lymph nodes of the axilla or groin. Prophylactic lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) could be beneficial in the prevention of lymphedema of the extremities.
Primary Surgical Prevention of Breast Cancer-related Lymphedema
Lymphedema refers to edema caused by insufficient drainage of interstitial fluid through the lymphatic circulation system. It occurs mainly in the upper and lower extremities and causes chronic inflammation, and finally fibrous adipose tissue is replaced. In this study, the'LYMPHA' (Lymphatic microsurgical preventing healing approach) procedure, which connects lymphatic vessels …
Effects of Hydrotherapy on Unilateral Lower Extremity Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a chronic condition that negatively affects patients' quality of life and lower extremity functions, causing swelling and a feeling of heaviness in the extremity, as well as posing an economic burden. The gold standard in lymphedema treatment is complex decongestive therapy.Manual lymphatic drainage, skin care, the use of …
Breaststroke Swimming After Breast Cancer Treatment/Surgery as a Means of Treatment for Seroma, Lymphedema, and Chronic Arm and Chest Pain
Following surgery and treatment for breast cancer, many patients experience swelling of lymph nodes (lymphedema) or accumulation of fluid (seroma) that can cause pain, restrict movement, and reduce quality of life. Current treatments include massage, pressure dressings, and drainage, but these are often ineffective and do not last. Physical activity, …
To Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Human BCMA Targeted CAR-NK Cells Injection for Subjects With R/R MM or PCL
This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation trial to explore the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics characteristics of human BCMA targeted CAR-NK Cells injection, and to preliminarily observe the efficacy of the trial drug in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia.
Airwave Compression Therapy to Prevent Breast Cancer-related Lymphedema
This study aims to explore the effectiveness of early intervention of airwave compression therapy to prevent the occurrence of postoperative breast cancer-related lymphedema(BCRL).
