Lymphedema clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 9 recruiting lymphedema studies with a site in Texas — including Early Phase 1, Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT07613931RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New Compression Device for Leg Lymphedema Treatment
This study tests a newer version of a pneumatic compression device (a machine that gently squeezes your leg to reduce swelling) for lymphedema—persistent swelling in the lower leg or foot. Researchers want to see if the updated compression settings work better to reduce swelling and improve how your leg feels and functions.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04606030Recruiting
Tested lymph surgery for breast-cancer–related arm swelling
This trial studies a specialized lymph surgery (called VLNT, moving lymph tissue) to treat swelling in an arm caused by breast cancer treatment. It may help reduce lymphedema that doesn’t fully improve with compression and elevation.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06494111RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing neck swelling after radiation for throat cancer
This study tests two medicines—pravastatin (a statin) and a combination of pentoxifylline and Vitamin E—to see if they can prevent long-term swelling (lymphedema) and scarring in the neck after radiation therapy for throat cancer. Participants receive one of the medicines daily for 2 years, and regular scans help monitor any changes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06989099RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing lymphedema with immediate lymphatic reconstruction
This study tests if performing immediate lymphatic reconstruction during lymph node removal can prevent lymphedema (arm swelling) in women with inflammatory breast cancer. If you qualify, the procedure may help lower your risk of long-term swelling.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06912763RecruitingPhase 2
Reversing radiation side effects in head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combined treatment (a statin and a drug that helps blood flow) to reverse long-term swelling and tissue hardening caused by head and neck radiation. It may help people who have had these side effects for more than 6 months.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT03941756Recruiting
Lymph bypass before underarm node surgery to prevent swelling
This study looks at whether adding a lymph “bypass” procedure before underarm lymph node surgery can lower the chance of arm or chest swelling (lymphedema) after cancer treatment. It compares people having lymph node surgery for breast cancer with plans for radiation, and a melanoma comparison group.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02280733Recruiting
Chronic wound registry for real-world care documentation
This study is a real-world registry that collects information about chronic wounds and ulcers as they’re treated in everyday settings. It may help improve how care is tracked and supported, even if you don’t get a new medicine from the study.
The Woodlands, TexasAges Any age - NCT00833599Enrolling by invitation
Scan lymph drainage and collect samples for related conditions
This study uses a special light scan after a dye is given to look at how your lymph system drains. It may also include genetic testing for people with a family history of lymph-related disorders to better understand causes.
Houston, TexasAges 3 months+ - NCT05937269Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Early physiotherapy to improve lymph swelling after head cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether starting physiotherapy soon after head and neck cancer treatment can reduce lymph-related swelling problems. It may help your comfort and recovery by improving lymph function using therapy and home compression.

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.

Common questions
- Are there lymphedema clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting lymphedema studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a lymphedema study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a lymphedema trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New lymphedema studies open in Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
