  ABSTRACT: Objective: To explore the application effect of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) combined with adjustable foam particle arm sleeves in patients with stage I upper limb lymphedema following breast cancer surgery. Methods: A total of 52 patients with stage I upper limb lymphedema, who were treated between January and December 2023 at a tertiary tumor hospital in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, were enrolled. Patients received MLD combined with adjustable foam particle arm sleeves. Bioelectrical impedance and body composition measurements were taken before and after treatment (one course consisting of 20 sessions) for comparison. Results: After one course of treatment, there was a significant reduction in arm muscle circumference, hydration rate, segmental water analysis, and segmental extracellular water ratio analysis (p Conclusion: MLD combined with adjustable foam particle arm sleeves effectively improves stage I upper limb lymphedema in postoperative breast cancer patients.
