Patients who visited the Asan Medical Center Lymphedema Clinic from April, 2010 to October, 2010 were considered for entry into the trial. The following criteria had to be met before a patient was enrolled into the trial: age of ≥18 years, female gender only, history of surgery and/or radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, diagnosis of lymphedema by lymphoscintigraphy, circumference difference of both arms >2 cm at 10 cm either below or above elbow. Participants were excluded on the following criteria: presence of certain comorbidities (current meta stasis, active infectious condition, such as cellulitis of affected arm), history of trauma, or surgery to the affected arm.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
