Group A (CDT + Underwater Galvanic Stimulation group
This group includes 30 patients who will receive underwater galvanic stimulation by 4-cell bath with CDT for 2 months (3times/week) in addition to their medical treatment.
underwater galvanic stimulation by 4-cell bath
Underwater Galvanic Stimulation:
* Equipment: 4-cell bath
* Procedure: Patients will immerse their affected limbs in the 4-cell bath. Electrical stimulation will be applied at a frequency of 15 Hz and intensity of 20 mA for 20 minutes, 3 times per week (Han et al. 2020).
Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT):
Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT):
* Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): 60 minutes per session, 3 days per week.
* Compression Therapy: Multilayer bandaging applied after MLD.
* Exercise: Specific exercises performed with compression in place.
* Skin Care: Routine skin and nail care to prevent infections (Curlett et al. 2020).
Group B (CDT group):
This group includes 30 patients who will receive only CDT for 2 months (3times/week) in addition to their medical treatment.
