Efficacy of Kinesio Taping Versus Compression Therapy on Breast Lymphedema Induced by Radiotherapy After Breast-Conserving Surgery
Is NCT07767305 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Sep 2026). This NA trial studies non-drug interventions for breast cancer.
Breast cancer patients often develop breast lymphedema after breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy, causing swelling, pain, and heaviness that affect quality of life. This study compares two physical therapy approaches-Kinesio Taping and compression therapy-for relieving breast lymphedema. Kinesio Taping is an elastic medical tape applied to the breast skin to promote lymphatic drainage; compression therapy uses an adjustable pressure vest to reduce swelling through external pressure. The study will enroll 99 eligible postoperative breast cancer patients, randomly assigned to three groups: one receiving routine care, one receiving routine care plus Kinesio Taping, and one receiving routine care plus compression therapy, with a 6-week intervention period. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, immediately after intervention, and at 3 and 6 months post-intervention to compare changes in swelling, pain, and quality of life among the three groups. This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Tangshan People's Hospital (LLKS), and all participants voluntarily participate with signed informed consent.
