Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The neck lymphedema is a multidirectional process that depends on lymphatic circulation issues. The lymphedema can be treated using such as therapies, drugs or surgeries. There are few techniques for treatment of neck lymphedema and also in our best knowledge the kinesio taping therapy on lymphedema following neck cancer therapy had not been investigated or published. The study will assess the efficacy of kinesio taping in neck lymphedema with manual therapy after the head and neck cancer treatment.
