Prescribing Compression in the Management of Lymphedema

摘要

Although the pathophysiology of edema varies, compression is the cornerstone of lymphedema management. However, the evidence base for the optimal application, duration, and intensity of compression therapy is lacking (Partsch et al. Int Angiol 27(3):193–219, 2008; Stout et al. Int Angiol 31(4):316–329, 2012). Different scientific groups have tried to summarize recommendations for prescribing compression (Executive Committee of the International Society of Lymphology. Lymphology 53(1):3–19, 2020; Lymphoedema Framework. Best practice for the management of lymphoedema. International consensus. MEP Ltd, 2006), and for standardized compression research trials for prophylaxis of arm lymphedema and for the management of chronic BCRL (Partsch et al. Int Angiol 29(5):442–453, 2010).
