Resumo: Mastectomy, the surgical breast cancer treatment, may lead to severalcomplications among which lymphedema in the same-side limb; also, in several cases bilateral mastectomy is needed. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of pulsed high-voltage electrical stimulation (ES) in reducing upper limb lymphedema in patients submitted to bilateral mastectomy. Such was the case of the three volunteers, aged 47, 52, and 54, who took part in this study. Treatment consisted in ES 20-minute sessions during 7 weeks, in a total of 14 sessions. Limb circumference (at 6 points) and limb volume (via water displacement) were measured at the 1st and 14th sessions. Reduction of lymphedema in all limbs show the effectiveness of the treatment proposed. Furthermore, volunteers reported on general clinical condition improvement, linked to reduction in the feeling of limb weight and to mobility increase.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os efeitos da estimulação elétrica pulsada de alta voltagem no linfedema de membros superiores (MMSS) em pacientes submetidas a mastectomia bilateral. Participaram deste estudo três voluntárias com idades de, 47, 52 e 54 anos, que tinham sido submetidas a mastectomia bilateral, apresentandocomo principal seqüela linfedema crônico. O tratamento constituiu-se daestimulação elétrica por 20 minutos em cada membro, durante 7 semanas, num total de 14 sessões. A evolução dos MMSS tratados foi analisada por perimetria e volumetria, comparando-se a primeira e a décima quarta sessão. Os resultados demonstram efetividade do tratamento aplicado, já que houve redução importante do linfedema, bem como relato das voluntárias de uma melhora no quadro geral, referente ao aumento da mobilidade e diminuição da sensação de peso do membro.Universidade de São Paulo.
