Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Female, aged 18 years or above; 2. Patients who have undergone histological pathological examination and have been diagnosed with breast cancer according to the pathological classification of the WHO Breast Tumor Classification; 3. Patients who underwent unilateral radical mastectomy combined with sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection (open, laparoscopic or robot-assisted), and developed axillary web syndrome after the surgery. The diagnostic criteria for axillary web syndrome: Through clinical physical examination or ultrasound, it is determined that there are cord-like nodules in the axilla, the inner side of the arm, the forearm or the wrist of the patient, and at the same time, there is limited movement of the affected side shoulder joint, decreased muscle strength, subcutaneous emphysema, pain (VAS score >= 2 points), or lymphedema of the upper limb on the affected side (stage 0-I); 4. The subjects voluntarily cooperated with this study and signed the informed consent form; 5. ECOG score 0-1 point.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Shoulder joint range of motion limitation caused by orthopedic, rheumatoid immune, or trauma-related reasons, and it is expected that the patient cannot complete the rehabilitation actions set by the study; 2. Postoperative complications in other systems, such as pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities; 3. Patients with cardiac insufficiency: New York Heart Association cardiac function classification >= III grade; or left ventricular ejection fraction 15 hours); 5. Patients with renal insufficiency: Glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73m^2, or undergoing maintenance dialysis treatment; 6. Patients with liver insufficiency: Child-Pugh classification B or C; 7. Severe hematological diseases: Hemoglobin < 70 g/L, platelet count < 50 × 10^9/L, neutrophil count < 0.5 × 10^9/L; 8. Other serious systemic diseases that may affect the safety and efficacy evaluation of rehabilitation; 9. Unable to cooperate with physical rehabilitation treatment or follow-up; 10. Having contraindications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy; 11. Pregnant or lactating.
