Clinical Trials Detalhe

The purpose of this study is to compare functional status and quality of life of a group of patients with chronic venous insufficiency treated with manual lymphatic drainage with a group not treated with manual lymphatic drainage. Investigators hypothesized that manual lymphatic drainage can improve: * quality of life, * functional status, * calf muscle strength, * ankle range of motion, * edema, * severity of disease, * and symptoms.
