Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is the "gold standard" in lymphedema care and has been found to be efficacious in numerous studies. These studies have varying treatment protocols of intensive phase I CDT with dosing ranging from 2x/wk for a mean of 7.5 wks to 6x/wk until a plateau in arm volumes were achieved. This variability in research does not lend itself to recommendations of evidence-based protocol use of CDT in an outpatient setting.
