- NCT05142800Recruiting
Screening for Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Targeted Therapy
This study is looking at whether targeted therapy for breast cancer changes the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema). It is a screening trial that uses a machine to measure arm size and check for any swelling early on.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06144164RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Surgery
This trial tests a comprehensive prevention program to reduce lymphedema—a swelling in the arm—after breast cancer surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you qualify, you'll learn special exercises and care steps to lower your risk.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06532955Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for arm swelling after breast cancer
This trial tests a robotic surgical technique to reconnect tiny lymph vessels and reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) in women who had breast cancer treatment. It may help if your swelling is still in the early stages.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06082349Recruiting
LVA surgery vs sham for cancer-related lymphedema
This study tests a surgery called lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) against a sham (placebo) surgery to see if it helps reduce swelling in people with lymphedema caused by cancer treatment. It is for patients with early-stage lymphedema in one arm or leg that hasn't improved with standard care.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04888975Recruiting
Device study for one-arm swelling after lymph surgery
This study tests a medical device (Dayspring Technology) to reduce swelling in the arm caused by breast cancer treatment and lymph surgery. You may be eligible if you have one-sided arm swelling after lymphatic surgery and meet safety checks for the device.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05064176Recruiting
Reconstructive lymph surgery plus usual care for lymphoedema
This study tests whether adding a reconstructive lymph surgery to standard lymphoedema care improves symptoms and function. It may help people with moderate lymphoedema who have already tried therapy for several months.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT05825157Recruiting
Tested combined treatment for arm swelling after cancer
This study looks at a combination treatment to improve swelling in one arm caused by lymphedema. You may be a good candidate if your arm swelling has not fully improved with standard compression therapy and you are able to have surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04690439Recruiting
Light therapy to treat breast cancer–related arm swelling
This trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07233863Recruiting
Lymphovenous bypass for preventing lymphedema in breast cancer
This trial tests a surgery (lymphovenous bypass) to prevent or slow down lymphedema (arm swelling) in breast cancer patients who have already had lymph nodes removed. It may help those with early-stage lymphedema who haven't tried physical therapy yet.
Jakarta, Jakarta Special Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT02743858Recruiting
Watch swelling study after breast lymph node surgery
This study looks at how and when swelling (lymphedema) happens after breast cancer surgery on the armpit lymph nodes. You may be followed closely after your planned one-sided procedure to better understand who gets swelling and how it changes over time.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06321653Recruiting
Lymphedema after radiation for early breast cancer with 1-2 positive nodes
This trial aims to see if a shorter course of radiation after breast-conserving surgery affects arm swelling (lymphedema) in people with early breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to learn if this approach is safe and effective.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lymphedema arm?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting lymphedema arm studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a lymphedema arm trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a lymphedema arm trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
