A low pressure provides the best outcomes in arm lymphedema, while a pressure in the range of 40\u201360 mm Hg seems to provide higher efficacy in lower limb lymphedema, provided it is maintained overtime. A high stiffness seems to be unnecessary to treat chronic edema. Future clinical trials, including proper description of treatment methodology and adequate investigating instrumental tools, are awaited to possibly corroborate the conclusive outcomes of our review.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0268355518824524","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,9]],"date-time":"2019-01-09T20:27:28Z","timestamp":1547065648000},"page":"515-522","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Compression therapy in lymphedema: Between past and recent scientific data"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7639-8463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni","family":"Mosti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Angiology Department, MD Barbantini Clinic, Lucca, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Attilio","family":"Cavezzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eurocenter Venalinfa, San Benedetto del Tronto (AP), Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0268355518824524","unstructured":"The diagnosis and treatment of peripheral lymphedema: 2016 consensus document of the International Society of Lymphology.\n                      Lymphology\n                      2016; 49: 170\u2013184."},{"key":"bibr2-0268355518824524","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cvr\/cvq062"},{"key":"bibr3-0268355518824524","first-page":"541","volume":"32","author":"Lee BB","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int Angiol"},{"key":"bibr4-0268355518824524","volume-title":"Focus document: lymphoedema bandaging in practice","author":"European Wound Management Association (EWMA)","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr5-0268355518824524","unstructured":"Best practice for the management of lymphoedema \u2013 2nd edition: compression therapy: a position document on compression bandaging.
