Study for leg swelling caused by lymph or vein problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how to measure and possibly treat swelling in the legs caused by long-term lymph or vein blockage (primary or secondary lymphoedema, or PTS). It’s looking at people with one type of leg swelling in one leg, and it checks whether MRI scans can be used safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have swelling in one lower leg caused by post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) or primary lymphoedema, or lymph swelling from another cause (if matching rules allow).
- Your swelling is not in both legs (not bilateral).
- Your case is not “mixed,” meaning it should not be partly from both vein problems (PTS) and lymph problems.
- Your swelling is not from the heart, liver, or kidneys (those causes are excluded).
- You can have MRI scans—no MRI contraindications—and you are not refusing the study.
- You are covered by the French health insurance system and are able/willing to participate (not protected by special law rules).

This trial studies whether a specific type of compression helps reduce swelling in the leg after a bypass surgery to improve blood flow. It may help people manage “edema” (fluid-related swelling) while healing after revascularization.
This study looks at how swollen fluid (lymphedema) behaves in the arms and legs using measurements taken from your movement. It aims to better understand the changes in limb tissue, which could help guide future care.
This study uses a special imaging machine (MSOT) to look at different types of swelling in the legs, such as lipedema and lymphedema. It aims to help doctors better understand and tell these conditions apart.
This study tests whether combining breathing and relaxation exercises with standard care can help reduce leg swelling and improve how well you walk. It is for women who have had lymphedema in their legs for at least 3 months.
This trial tests if a surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) can reduce swelling in the leg caused by lymphedema. It's for people with mild to moderate lymphedema who have been cancer-free for at least one year.
This study looks at what to do to help prevent or better manage leg swelling (lymphedema) after treatment for certain gynecologic cancers. You may be asked to use a diary or app and complete questionnaires so the team can track symptoms over time.
