The Impact of Manual Lymph Drainage Combined with"He-sea point"Massage Comprehensive Treatment on Limb Lymphedema in Cancer Patients
Objective This study aims to investigate the impact of manual lymph drainage combined with"he-sea point"massage comprehensive treatment on limb lymphedema in cancer patients.Methods A total of 60 patients with limb lymphedema who were hospitalized in the oncology,gynecology and breast surgery departments of Taizhou people's hospital from June 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects.Patients were evenly divided into study group and control group by random envelope method.The control group received routine nursing manual drainage,while the study group received routine nursing manual drainage combined with"he-sea point"massage comprehensive treatment.The study compared the difference in edema circumference between the affected limb and the healthy limb before and after treatment,as well as the treatment effect on limb lymphedema,between the two groups.Results The study group exhibited a significantly greater difference in limb circumference before and after treatment compared to the control group.Patients in the study group experi-enced significant improvement in limb edema,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion The comprehensive treatment of manual lymphatic drainage combined with"he-point"massage has shown a signifi-cant effect on tumors.It effectively improves limb lymphedema in patients and enhances their overall quality of life.Therefore,this treatment holds promise for clinical application.
