Outline of Final Research Achievements

Compression therapy is a highly recommended treatment for lymphedema, and incorporating it into the lifestyle is required to improve quality of life. However, as the enforcement technology and management are thought to be difficult, compression therapy is likely to be shunned. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the number of patients and the situation of acquiring the technology, and suggest that at least four lessons are required. The safety of self-bandage was confirmed by the change of the fluid retaining sites before and after the life, incorporating self-bandage for 1 week, change of impedance, and skin condition. Improvement of the edema was observed.
