Description
Pinar Borman and seven co-authors test, in a 2026 trial, whether adding night-time compression helps women keep arm swelling down after breast cancer treatment. The swelling, lymphedema, follows the intensive phase of care with a maintenance phase where sleeves guard the gains. Fifty-six women at six centres in France and Turkey were split at random after that first phase.
One group wore a day sleeve only. The other added a self-adjusting night sleeve. After three months, excess arm volume had fallen by about twenty-nine percent in the night group, while it rose about eleven percent in the day-only group. Failures were far rarer with the night sleeve. Quality of life, sleep, and skin softness also improved more in that group.
