The search for effective complementary interventions, such as modified Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) programmes, that can be incorporated into stand-alone treatment programmes for patients with BCRL, including for use at home, is relevant.</p> <p><bold>Aim. </bold>To study the efficacy of different modern intermittent pneumatic compression techniques in BCRL based on the analysis of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods. </bold>The search was conducted in the databases eLIBRARY.RU, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and PEDro using the keywords “lymphedema”, “upper extremities”, “breast cancer”, and “variable pneumocompression” from 1998 to 2024. A total of 53 sources were selected for March 2024, of which 17 were systematic reviews, one was a Cochrane review, four were practice guidelines and 31 were RCTs (58.49 %).</p> <p><bold>Results and discussion. </bold>The systematic reviews analyzed were unable to demonstrate convincingly the added value of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) as part of a Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT). Therefore, we analyzed the results of RCTs on the use of standard and modified IPC programmes that can be included in stand-alone patient treatment programmes, including those for home use. The efficacy of IPC is supported by the results of a large number of publications evaluating the efficacy of IPC in BCRL. The studies included the following interventions: a combination of CDT and IPC or IPC alone, with the pressure used for IPC ranging from 40 to 60 mmHg and the duration of the IPC procedure varying from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The results showed that the adjunctive use of IPC to CDT could alleviate lymphedema, but there was no significant difference between conventional treatment of lymphedema with and without pneumatic pump. It was found that during the intensive phase (phase I) of treatment, CDT combined with IPC provided significantly greater mean volume reduction than CDT alone (43.1 % vs. 37.5 %;<italic> p</italic> = 0.036). In the few studies conducted, the use of the Advanced Pneumatic Compression Device (APCD) technique with simulated MLD was found to be superior to the standard ADPC technique and more adaptable to long-term home use in patients with BCRL.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion. </bold>Thus, analysis of published sources showed that CDT combined with IPC is more effective in reducing excess volume and excess circumference of the upper limb with lymphedema during a relatively short follow-up period (up to 8 weeks after the end of physiotherapy). In addition, the combined application of CDT + IPC can improve the shoulder mobility in four functional positions: extension, extension, flexion and external rotation, which can be the basis for periodic continuous supportive lymphatic drainage treatment to maintain the anti-edema effect. It has also been shown that the use of the APCD technique with simulated MLD is superior to IPC and more adapted to long-term home use in patients with BCRL.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение.</bold> Совершенствование онкологических стратегий лечения привело к повышению показателей выживаемости пациентов с раком молочной железы, чем обусловлен рост числа пациентов с лимфедемой, связанной с радикальным лечением рака груди (ЛСРГ). Актуальным является поиск эффективных дополнительных вмешательств, таких как модифицированные программы переменной пневматической компрессии (ППК), которые могут быть включены в самостоятельные программы лечения пациентов с ЛСРГ, в том числе для применения в домашних условиях.</p> <p><bold>Цель. </bold>Изучение<bold> </bold>эффективности<bold> </bold>различных современных технологий ППК при ЛРСГ на основе анализа систематических обзоров и метаанализов рандомизированных контролируемых исследований (РКИ).</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold><italic> </italic>Поиск проводился в базах данных eLIBRARY.RU, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, PEDro по ключевым словам на русском и английском языках: лимфедема, верхние конечности, рак груди, переменная пневмокомпрессия с 1998 по 2024 гг. Всего на март 2024 г. было отобрано 53 источника, из которых 17 составили систематические обзоры, 1 — Кокрановский обзор, 4 — практические руководства, а также 31 РКИ (58,49 %).</p> <p><bold>Результаты и обсуждение.</bold> Проанализированные систематические обзоры не смогли продемонстрировать убедительность дополнительной ценности метода мануального лимфодренажа (МЛД) в составе комплексной противоотечной терапии (КПТ). Поэтому нами были проанализированы результаты РКИ по применению стандартных и модифицированных программ ППК, которые могут включаться в самостоятельные программы лечения пациентов, в том числе для применения в домашних условиях. Эффективность ППК подтверждается результатами большого количества публикаций, оценивающих эффективность ППК при ЛСРГ. Проведенные исследования включали в себя следующие вмешательства: комбинацию КПТ и ППК или только ППК, при этом давление, используемое при ППК, составляло от 40 до 60 мм рт. ст., а продолжительность процедуры ППК варьировалась от 30 минут до 2 часов. Результаты показали, что дополнительное использование ППК к КПТ может облегчить лимфедему, но существенной разницы между обычным лечением лимфедемы с использованием пневматического насоса и без него не было. Установлено, что во время интенсивной фазы (фаза I) лечения КПТ в сочетании с ППК обеспечила значительно большее среднее уменьшение объема, чем только КПТ (43,1 % против 37,5 %; <italic>p</italic> = 0,036). В единичных проведенных исследованиях было установлено, что применение методики усовершенствованной аппаратной пневмокомпрессии (УАПК) с имитацией МЛД превосходит стандартную методику ППК и более адаптировано к длительному домашнему применению у пациентов с ЛСРГ.</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Таким образом, анализ опубликованных источников показал, что КПТ в сочетании с ППК более эффективно уменьшает избыточный объем и избыточную окружность верхней конечности с лимфедемой в течение относительно короткого периода наблюдения (до 8 недель после окончания физиотерапии). Кроме того, сочетанное применение КПТ + ППК может улучшить подвижность плеча в четырех функциональных положениях: отведение, разгибание, сгибание и наружная ротация, что может служить основанием для периодического непрерывного поддерживающего лимфодренажного лечения для сохранения противоотечного эффекта. Также было показано, что применение методики УАПК с имитацией МЛД превосходит ППК и более адаптировано к длительному домашнему применению у пациентов с ЛСРГ.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>arm lymphedema</kwd><kwd>breast cancer</kwd><kwd>rehabilitation</kwd><kwd>manual lymphatic drainage</kwd><kwd>intermittent pneumatic compression</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>лимфедема руки</kwd><kwd>рак молочной железы</kwd><kwd>реабилитация</kwd><kwd>мануальный лимфодренаж</kwd><kwd>переменная пневмокомпрессия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Sung H., Ferlay J., Siegel R.L., et al.
