Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In venous ulcer, venous insufficiency is accompanied by lymphatic insufficiency. Manual lymphatic drainage (mld) technique cause to increase contraction rate of lymphatic collector and venous flow. It is known that Manual lymphatic drainage accelerates microcirculation, enabling nutrients and oxygen to reach tissues and at the same time removing residual substances from the tissue. We hypothesis that if we inrease to lypmhatic activity with MLD, we could stimulate healing of ulcer. The aim of this study to investigate the effect of manual lymphatic drainage on venous ulcer healing.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Group

All patients were treated 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The treatment program of these patients included manual lymphatic drainage on the leg, skin care, bandaging and exercise.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Manual Lymphatic drainage (MLD)

Intervention Type OTHER

MLD vith vodder technique was applied to leg

Skin Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Wound was cleaned with salin and covered by dressing without including active products

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

breathing and foot pump exercise was prescribed

Shame Manual Lymphatic Drainage Group

All patients were treated 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The treatment program of these patients included shame manual lymphatic drainage on the leg, skin care, bandaging and exercise. Shame manual lymphatic drainage include light touches instead of real manual lymphatic drainage techniques
