Effect of Prophylactic Medical Compression Therapy on the Reduction of Breast Cancer-related Lymphedema in Patients With Adjuvant Docetaxel Chemotherapy: a Randomized Controlled Study
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
In this study, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether prophylactic medical compression therapy in breast cancer patients receiving docetaxel adjuvant chemotherapy could reduce the incidence and severity of lymphedema in the upper limbs that received axillary lymph node resection (sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection).

Treatments
Experimental: prophylactic medical compression therapy group
This study provides medical compression stockings from the start date of Docetaxel administration for patients who have undergone mastectomy and axillary lymphectomy for breast cancer, and who are planning to receive Docetaxel adjuvant chemotherapy. The intervention group wears medical compression stockings for upper limbs with a pressure level of 1 (15-21mmHg) during the day from the start of docetaxel administration to 3 months after the end of administration.~Basic education of upper limb exercises (joint motion range enhancement exercises and upper limb muscle pumping exercises) is provided to both the intervention group and the control group.
No_intervention: control group
The control group proceeds as an observation, but interventions such as providing stockings in the event of lymphedema are performed.~Basic education of upper limb exercises (joint motion range enhancement exercises and upper limb muscle pumping exercises) is provided to both the intervention group and the control group.
