Abstract(s)
O linfedema secundário ocorre quando a linfa tem dificuldade em progredir (cicatrizes, células cancerosas, microrganismos infecciosos, cirurgia, radioterapia), pelo que o líquido intersticial se irá acumular gradualmente criando um edema duro. No tratamento do cancro são comumente utilizadas intervenções que promovem o surgimento precoce ou tardia de linfedema, com consequências na funcionalidade e qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Determinar a eficácia do Laser de baixa intensidade (LLLT) no tratamento do linfedema secundário pós cancro da mama. Metodologia: Pesquisaram-se as bases de dados PubMed e Web Of Science durante o mês de dezembro 2021. A qualidade metodológica dos artigos selecionados foi feita através da escala PEDro. Resultados: Foram encontrados 98 estudos do quais foram incluídos 8 estudos na presente revisao, dos quais 7 RTC (ensaio de controle randomizado) e 1 ensaio clínico sem grupo de controle, envolvendo 282 mulheres com um score médio de 6,3/10 na escala PEDro. Conclusão: Podemos concluir que o LLLT parece influenciar o volume do linfedema e melhorar as capacidades funcionais dos pacientes.
Secondary lymphoedema occurs when lymph has difficulty progressing (scars, cancer cells, infectious microorganisms, surgery, radiotherapy), so interstitial fluid will gradually accumulate creating a hard oedema. In cancer treatment, interventions are commonly used that promote the early or late onset of lymphoedema, with consequences on functionality and quality of life. Objective: To determine the efficacy of low intensity laser therapy (LLLT) in the treatment of secondary lymphedema after breast cancer. Methodology: The PubMed and Web Of Science databases were searched during the month of December 2021. The methodological quality of the selected articles was made through the PEDro scale. Results: 98 studies were found, of which 8 were included in the present review, 7 RTC (randomized control trial) and 1 clinical trial without control group, involving 282 women with a mean score of 6.3/10 on the PEDro scale. Conclusion: We can conclude that LLLT seems to influence the volume of lymphedema and improve the functional abilities of patients.
