Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a randomized clinical trial with women with lymphedema secondary to breast cancer. The intervention will consist of the use of self-adjusting clothing versus compressive bandaging (routine treatment of the institution). Self-adjusting clothing is expected to be more effective for the treatment of lymphedema reduction, when compared to standard treatment, in addition to promoting a better quality of life and functionality.
