Volume, below elbow (mL)	926.9±308.1	931.0±258.4	0.962
Volume, above elbow (mL)	1,038.7±359.3	1,085.6±301.2	0.962
DASH score	32.8±19.7	40.3±11.7	0.150

DASH score	29.5±17.3	31.0±13.9	0.753
Treatment satisfaction	53.2±18.0	50.0±21.0	0.608
Difference between before and after CDT
Total volume (mL)	98.0±158.3	199.0±125.1	<0.05*
Volume, below elbow (mL)	57.9±42.7	77.1±43.7	0.218
Volume, above elbow (mL)	56.0±65.4	106.2±82.2	<0.05*
DASH score	3.8±5.4	7.7±6.6	<0.05*

Values are presented as mean±standard deviation.

Total volume was measured by volumetry. Volume (below & above elbow) was calculated by the circumference of the arm.

CDT, complex decongestive therapy; DASH, Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand.
