摘要
In both developing toddlers and adults, the staggering number of proteins contained in the extracellular matrix interact dynamically with the whole nervous system circuitry. Edema develops when lymphatic drainage is restricted, leading to the accumulation of toxic wastes and the possibility for systemic dysregulation of the neuronal synapses. It is imperative that extra proteins and wastes are removed from the interstitial space. Therefore, to promote complete health, including hormonal health in women, the lymphatic system must be addressed. Our observations demonstrate the numerous advantages of decongestive physical therapy for female lymphedema patients. The objective of this research is to see how effective decongestive physiotherapy approaches are in lymphedema patients. The diseased limb's area was greatly lowered, which improved the sleep quality and quality of life (QOL) score that had been confirmed using the Cronbach's alpha value for the total color energy-physiological medi taping (CEPMT). The main goals of CEPMT are to enhance lymphatic circulation and avoid lymphatic stasis, which enhances QOL and sleep. The patient's recovery was significantly aided by patient education, counseling, and a home bandaging routine, which was verified using the questionnaire approach. In gynecological cancer patients, CEPMT is crucial for lowering lymphoedema, enhancing sleep quality, and improving CEPMT.
