N/A Breast Cancer. Intervention 1: Treatments for intervention group (CDP+IPC) includes manual lymphatic drainage for 30 minutes in each session, multi-layer bandaging, exercise , skin and nail care and applicatin of intermittent penumatic compression device.Intermittent pressure is applied with a pressure about 40 mmHg for 30 minutes by using of IPC Lymphatron model 850 with six chambers.Special bandages which are known as short -stretch or low-stretch bandages are used in lymphedema bandage.This type of bandage is appropriate to reduce the size of swollen extremities physiologically, the probability of damage due to excessive pressure is very low. This bandage is used for 24 hours during the treatment phase. The bandage is done in figure of eight from distal to proximal in the affected limb. Intervention 2: Treatment for control group (CDP) includes manual lymphatic drainage for 30 minutes in each session, multi-layer bandaging, exercise and skin and nail care.Special bandages which are known as short -stretch or low-stretch bandages are used in lymphedema bandage.This type of bandage is appropriate to reduce the size of swollen extremities physiologically, the probability of damage due to excessive pressure is very low. This bandage is used for 24 hours during the treatment phase. The bandage is done in figure of eight from distal to proximal in the affected limb.
