Description of Intervention. The clinical treatment of lymphedema was started in the first year of the patient’s life and for five years she was only treated using the Godoy & Godoy
technique of cervical stimulation. Three years ago the patient was prescribed a compression stocking made from a cotton-polyester fabric (grosgrain) because of a sudden increase in the lymphedema after
she started to take growth hormones. Outcome and Conclusion. The combination of cervical stimulation and a compression stocking was effective to keep the child’s life
relatively normal, performing all day-to-day and recreational activities. |
