PURPOSE: Lymphedema is a common debilitating late effect among patients post-head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment.头颈淋巴水肿与症状负担,功能障碍和生活质量降低有关。这项研究的目的是确定feasibility and potential efficacy of the use of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy for head and neck lymphedema, symptom burden, and neck range of motion among HNC survivors.
METHODS: This was a single-arm, pre- and post-design clinical trial.符合条件的患者包括完成完整的充血治疗(CDT)后的淋巴水肿和癌症治疗完成后3至18个月的患者。干预措施包括PBM治疗每周2次,共6周,共12次治疗。淋巴水肿,症状负担和颈部运动范围在基线,干预结束和干预后为期4周。
结果: 在研究中注册的12名患者在研究中注册了91.7%(n = 11),并及时访问了该研究。在将基线与4周的干预后进行比较时,我们发现统计学意义的改进外部淋巴水肿,症状负担和颈部运动范围的严重程度(全部<.05)。
结论: pbm治疗是可行的,并且有效地治疗了头部和颈部的乳腺淋巴瘤。 Future randomized controlled trials are warranted to examine the efficacy of PBM therapy for HNC-related lymphedema.
