- 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.
Uniondale, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT03248310Recruiting
Surgery vs non-surgical care for lymphedema quality of life
This study compares how people feel day to day (quality of life) after either surgery or non-surgical care for lymphedema. It may help doctors understand which approach improves comfort, function, and overall well-being.
Rockville Centre, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05890677Recruiting
Surgery versus conservative care for chronic breast-related arm swelling
This trial compares microsurgery to standard conservative therapy for long-lasting arm swelling caused by prior breast cancer. It may help people who still have swelling despite months of decongestive treatment by improving quality of life.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06708754Recruiting
Light therapy for radiation side effects in head and neck cancer
This study tests if a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help reduce tissue stiffness and swelling caused by radiation for head and neck cancer. It may be an option if you finished radiation in the last 3 years and have moderate to severe scarring or swelling.
New York, New YorkAges 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.
Harrison, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06725030Recruiting
Robotic surgery for lymphedema (Symani System)
This trial uses a robotic arm called Symani to help surgeons perform more precise microsurgery (working on tiny blood vessels and lymph channels). It is for adults with moderate lymphedema in one arm or leg who have already tried standard lymphedema therapy and still have swelling.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT06418282Recruiting
Portable compression device for leg swelling
This study tests a new portable device that wraps around your leg to gently squeeze and reduce swelling from lymphedema or vein problems. It aims to see if at-home use can improve symptoms and lower healthcare costs compared to standard care.

What taking part in a lymphedema study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
