Introduction Lymphedema in post-mastectomy patients has the ability to
become a chronic, progressive disease that is resistant to treatment. As a
consequence, it can impair function and reduce quality of life .Mastectomy is
the surgical removal of the cancerous portion of the breast tissue (malignant
tumor) .Since 60% of all lymph nodes are found right beneath the
diaphragm, it serves as a lymphatic pump. By exerting a negative pressure
and drawing the lymph through the lymphatic system, diaphragmatic
breathing (DB) promotes the cleaning of the lymph nodes. Methods sixty
eight patients with post mastectomy lymphedema were chosen at random
and divided into two groups of equal size, (Group A) received resisted
diaphragmatic breathing (RDB)exercise and complete decongestive therapy
(CDT) (pneumatic compression, compression bandage ,manual lymphatic
drainage ,active range of motion AROM exercise and skincare), 3session per
week for 4 weeks, (Group B) received complete decongestive therepy (CDT)
3session per week for 4 weeks. Measurement patient‘s limb circumferential
measurements were taken at five point (axillary, mid arm, elbow, mid
forearm and wrist) for both group pretreatment and post treatment. Results:
These findings revealed that there was decrease in lymphedema
measurement in both groups after therapy compared to before treatment
(p<0.001). However, statistical analysis showed higher significant
improvement in favor to the deep resisted breathing group (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Deep resisted breathing exercise proved to be effective in
decreasing lymphedema measurement in post mastectomy patient.
