Recruiting studies
- NCT06264817Recruiting
Adjustable sleeve for arm swelling after breast cancer
This trial tests a new adjustable compression sleeve for arm swelling (lymphedema) after breast cancer. It aims to see if the sleeve is comfortable and effective at reducing swelling.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05804643Recruiting
MRI scans to study swelling from breast cancer
This study uses special MRI (a detailed body scan) to better evaluate arm or hand swelling caused by breast-cancer–related lymphedema. It may help doctors understand how to measure lymphedema more accurately.
TaipeiAges 20 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT05695924Recruiting
Surgery to reduce arm swelling after breast cancer
This trial studies whether a specific surgery (a lymph vessel transplant) can reduce upper-arm lymphedema in people who developed swelling after breast cancer treatment. You must already have tried standard therapy and still have persistent, mild-to-moderate swelling.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06228937Recruiting
Gut bacteria and lymphedema with repeated infections
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut and how they relate to lymphedema (swelling) and repeated skin infections in the affected limb. It compares people who have many infections with those who have none, to better understand why some get infections and others don't.
RomeAges 18–85 - NCT07012642RecruitingEarly Phase 1
GLP-1 drugs for arm or leg swelling (lymphedema)
This trial tests if a class of diabetes drugs (GLP-1 receptor agonists) can reduce swelling in one arm or leg caused by lymphedema. It may help people who have not found relief from other treatments.
Red Bank, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07257679RecruitingPhase 4
Gentle touch for arm swelling after breast cancer surgery
This study tests a gentle hand-on technique (called Gentle Touch) to see if it helps reduce arm swelling in women who developed lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. It may offer a new way to manage this side effect.
Roma, RMAges 30–75 - NCT07743294Recruiting
Exercise before breast cancer surgery to reduce arm swelling
This trial tests whether doing specific exercises before breast cancer surgery helps reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) after surgery, and improves quality of life and care needs. You would participate in a supervised exercise program before your surgery and then follow up after.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06725602Enrolling by invitation
Prehospital tourniquet study for arms and legs
This trial tests different tourniquet models used in emergencies to stop blood flow in arms and legs. It may help find the best way to control bleeding before reaching a hospital.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18–60
