Women and men aged 18-75 years with a diagnosis of upper or lower extremity lymphedema will be included. Sociodemographic and clinical data of the patients will be recorded, and participants will be divided into two treatment groups: those who received LymphaTouch® therapy and those who underwent Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).
