Abstract EN
The objective of the current study was to assess whether Venosan elastic stockings have a synergistic effect on the maintenance of results after Mechanical Lymphatic Therapy.
Eleven patients with grade II lymphedema of the legs, regardless of cause, were evaluated in the Clinica Godoy between September and November 2012.
The participants’ ages ranged from 53 to 83 years old with a mean of 65.1 years.
Two groups were formed with Group I using Venosan elastic stockings and Group II not using any type of compression therapy.
Evaluations of the lymphedematous legs were performed before and after each drainage session using bioimpedance.
Patients who wore elastic stockings had a greater volume reduction than those who did not wear stockings (unpaired t-test: P value < 0.001).
