Effects of Aerobic Cycling Training in Patients With Gynecologic Cancer-related Lower Extremity Lymphedema

Cycling training effects on leg swelling in gynecologic cancer patients.

Recruiting
18-65 years
Female
Phase N/A

This study looks at how cycling training affects women with gynecologic cancer-related lower body lymphedema, which is swelling due to lymph fluid buildup. It compares two treatments: **Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT)** and **CDT plus Cycling Ergometry**. In total, 63 women will join, with some in a control group (CDT only) and others in an intervention group (CDT + cycling). The cycling group will use a special bike for 20 minutes, with exercise intensity based on heart rate. The study will measure improvements in leg swelling, function, and quality of life.

Key Points:

  • The study lasts for 3 weeks.
  • Participants will undergo screening to determine eligibility.
  • Participants must sign a consent form and meet certain health criteria.

Participants should have finished cancer treatments like chemotherapy, and not have conditions like heart failure or infections. At the end of the study, researchers will compare the results between the two groups to see which treatment is more effective.
