Night-time compression: a valuable addition to the lymphoedema management toolkit

Abstract

As an incurable condition, lymphoedema, whether primary or secondary, is a significant burden for patients, impacting every aspect of their lives, ranging from the personal to the professional. While daytime compression is a pillar of lymphoedema management, night-time compression delivery is also gaining credence. Health writer Francesca Ramadan summarises the exploration of this growing phenomenon in the literature, overviewing the benefits and dispelling the myths.
