Group A received standard complete decongestive therapy (CDT), group B received CDT with olive oil, and group C received CDT with chamomile and olive oil. Lymphedema volume and range of motion (RoM) were measured at the beginning of the study and at sessions 7, 14, and 21. Patients\u2019 QoL was measured using the Short Form 36 questionnaire at baseline, at the end of the trial, and 1 month after the trial.

Although the volume of lymphedema was reduced and RoM was increased in all groups, there was no significant difference between the three groups. However, the change in volume and RoM was more evident in group C. Moreover, the effect of interventions on health-related QoL dimensions in all groups was not statistically significant.
