- La terapia descongestiva completa (TDC) es el tratamiento estándar no quirúrgico para el linfedema.
- Las experiencias de los pacientes con CDT siguen siendo insuficientemente investigadas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para explorar las experiencias vividas de individuos sometidos a terapia descongestiva completa para el linfedema de las extremidades inferiores.
Principales métodos:
- Estudio cualitativo en el que participaron 18 personas (de 39 a 72 años) con linfedema de las extremidades inferiores.
- Datos recogidos a través de entrevistas en profundidad individuales.
- El marco de análisis descriptivo de Colaizzi y NVivo 12.0 utilizados para la interpretación y gestión de datos.

The development of lymphatic tissues and vessels in embryonic life begins around the fifth week. These structures originate from the mesoderm layer, with lymph sacs emerging from developing veins.
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
