Purpose: The aim of this study was to systematically review the effects of low level therapy on lymphedema post mastectomy. Methodology: Search was done for systematically review the randomized controlled trials and cohort studies registered for effect of low level therapy on lymphedema post mastectomy, the review will include participants aged from above 18 years. Data from all the included studies were summarized in the following format that included: participants' characteristics (number in each group, target population, diagnosis, numbers in each diagnostic subgroup, and ages), intervention used, control used, research design and level of evidence for the study, and outcomes of interest Results: The five studies showed the effectiveness of low level laser in management of BCRL. Conclusion: There is moderate to strong evidence for the effectiveness of LLLT for the management of BCRL from five small studies of acceptable methodological quality. A dose of 12 J/cm2 per point applied to several points covering the fibrotic area can reduce limb volume following BCRL.
