THE GODOY & GODOY CERVICAL STIMULATION TECHNIQUE IN THE TREATMENT OF PRIMARY CONGENITAL LYMPHEDEMA
The aim of the current study is to report on the treatment of primary lymphedema using a new form of therapy: cervical stimulation. In a prospective cohort study, 9 boys and 5 girls with primary congenital lymphedema were evaluated over two years. Age ranged from two months to 8.5 years. After diagnosis, all mothers were trained in the new technique. The Godoy & Godoy cervical stimulation technique consists of between 20 to 30 stimuli per minute using light movements in the cervical region. All the children were submitted to perimetric evaluations of the feet and legs; however, in this study only two points, 3 and 6 cm from the base of the big toe nail, were used. The two-tailed t-test was used for statistical analysis with an alpha error of 5% (P<0.05) considered acceptable. The size of the lymphedematous feet was reduced and even normalized (P<0.0001) for all treated children. Cervical stimulation is a new option in the treatment of primary congenital lymphedema; its association with compression stockings has a synergistic effect in reducing the volume of lymphedema.

GODOY & GODOY TECHNIQUE OF CERVICAL STIMULATION IN THE REDUCTION OF EDEMA OF THE FACE AFTER CANCER TREATMENT
The estimated number of cases of cancer of the lips and mouth in Brazil in 2007 was 10 380 among men and 3780 among women.1 Of the cancers of lips and mouth (buccal mucous membranes, gum, hard palate, tongue and mouth floor), lip cancer is the most common in Caucasians.1 Cancer of the other regions of the mouth mainly affect over 40-year-old men, in whom the risk increases with smoking, alcohol ingestion, bad buccal hygiene and inappropriate use of dental prosthesis.2 The symptoms include the appearance of superficial ulcers, white or red blotches in the buccal mucous membrane, or even cervical lymphadenomegalia.2 Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, either alone or combined are the applicable therapeutic methods for cancer of the mouth.

CERVICAL STIMULATION IN THE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WITH LYMPHEDEMA OF ALL FOUR EXTREMITIES: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
The aim of this study is to report on the use of cervical stimulation as monotherapy to reduce swelling and normalize the size of limbs in two children with lymphedema of all four extremities. Case Presentation. One child also had hemifacial edema. In both cases, the mothers were trained to perform cervical stimulation under professional supervision. The cases of two girls, one of eight months and the other of six months, with primary congenital lymphedema are described. Outcome. After clinical diagnosis, the patients started treatment with cervical stimulation three times per week. The mothers were trained in cervical stimulation and, when the therapy team was confident about the mothers’ ability to perform the technique, the children began to be treated at home. The Godoy & Godoy cervical stimulation technique consists of around 20 to 30 light stroking movements per minute in the cervical region which stimulate the lymphatics. Perimetric measurements were made of the feet, legs, and the hands. Only two points (3 and 6 cm) along the dorsum of the feet and hands and points at 5 cm intervals up the legs starting at the ankle were considered. Today, the children are 5 and 6 years of age, without edema and with a normal life, without limitations, except with respect to precautions against injuries to the limbs and against infections particularly erysipelas. Conclusion. Cervical Lymphatic Therapy as monotherapy is an option in the treatment of primary congenital lymphedema.

CERVICAL STIMULATION FOR VOLUMETRIC REDUCTION OF LIMBS IN THE TREATMENT OF LYMPHEDEMA
Godoy and Godoy describe in this study a new lymph drainage technique which is different from those previously described. It can be performed in isolation, as in cases of the face, or in conjunction with body lymph drainage. The technique is extremely simple and, with due care, we believe the method is easily reproduced in the clinical setting.[1,2] Fifteen female and three male patients with ages between 34 and 86 years and a mean age of 57.8 years with grade II lymphedema of lower limbs in its initial phase (within three to four months of onset as reported by the patient) were selected over a two-year period. Grade I lymphedema is deÞ ned as lymphedema that evolves during the day with patients having no signs of the disease after a nights rest. With Grade II lymphedema, the patient awakens with swelling of the limbs.[3] Diagnosis of lymphedema was clinical, confirmed by lymphoscintigraphy.
