- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Drenagem linfática manual nos sintomas da síndrome pré-menstrual: estudo piloto(Universidade de São Paulo, 2010-03-01) Ferreira, Juliana De Jesus [UNIFESP]; Machado, Aline Fernanda Perez; Tacani, Rogério; Saldanha, Maria Elisabete Salina; Tacani, Pascale Mutti [UNIFESP]; Liebano, Richard Eloin; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Cidade de São Paulo; Centro Universitário São CamiloPremenstrual syndrome is a symptomatology - including premenstrual edema - that affects women between the 10th and 14th days prior to menstruation and ends at the onset of menstrual flux. The technique of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) draws off accumulated fluid excess, acts on edema and might help relieve such symptoms. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the effect of MLD on premenstrual symptoms and on health-related quality of life of four young women. The study was carried out along two menstrual cycles, the first with no intervention; MLD was applied along the second cycle. Participants were assessed, at the beginning of the first cycle and after treatment, as to height and weight, body composition estimate, daily symptoms by means of a diary, and quality of life by the WHOQoL-bref. After treatment results showed the sole significant decreases in abdomen xyphoid and navel level diameters; mean total and individual symptom scores decreased, but with no significant differences, the same happening to the higher WHOQoL-bref mean scores. Manual lymphatic drainage was thus able to reduce one premenstrual symptom, namely the upper abdomen edema, and didn't affect these young women's quality of life.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosManual Lymphatic Drainage and Active Exercise Effects on Lymphatic Function Do Not Translate Into Morbidities in Women Who Underwent Breast Cancer Surgery(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2017) Freire de Oliveira, Mariana Maia; Costa Gurgel, Maria Salete; Pace do Amaral, Maria Teresa [UNIFESP]; Amorim, Barbara Juarez; Ramos, Celso Dario; Almeida Filho, Jose Geraldo; de Rezende, Laura Ferreira; Zanatta Sarian, Luis OtavioObjective: To evaluate manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and active exercise effects on lymphatic alterations of the upper limb (UL), range of motion (ROM) of shoulder, and scar complications after breast cancer surgery. Design: Clinical trial. Setting: Health care center. Participants: Women (N=105) undergoing radical breast cancer surgery who were matched for staging, age, and body mass index. Interventions: Women (n=52) were submitted to MLD and 53 to active exercises for UL for 1 month and followed up. Main Outcome Measures: Shoulder ROM, surgical wound inspection and palpation, UL circumference measurements, and lymphoscintigraphy were performed in preoperative and postoperative periods. Results: There was no significant difference between groups with regard to wound healing complications, ROM, and UL circumferences. After surgery, 25 (48.1%) of the MLD group and 19 (35.8%) of the active exercise group showed worsening in radiopharmaceutical uptake velocity, whereas 9 (17.3%) of the MILD group and 11(20.8%) of the active exercise group showed improved velocity (P=.445). With regard to uptake intensity, 27 (51.9%) of the MLD group and 21(39.6%) of the active exercise group showed worsening whereas 7 (13.5%) of the MLD group and 7 (13.2%) of the active exercise group showed some improvement (P=.391). The presence of collateral circulation was similar in both groups at both time points evaluated. The active exercise group had a significant increase in postoperative liver absorption (P=.005), and the MLD group had a significant increase in postoperative dermal backflow (P=.024). Conclusions: MLD and active exercise effects are equivalent with regard to morbidity. Minor changes in lymphatic function associated with either MLD or active exercises were not related to patients' symptoms or signs. (C) 2016 by the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine
