Study blood and skin samples to improve lymphedema care
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study collects samples (like blood and possibly lymph fluid-related tests) to help doctors better tailor treatment for lymphedema. It may help researchers find ways to improve outcomes for people treated for swollen, fluid-rich tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can understand the study and sign a written consent form
- You have been diagnosed with lymphedema
- You have not had certain lymph surgeries in the past (lymphovenous bypass or lymph node transfer)

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 trial looks at factors that affect study experiences for adults with lymphedema, including how they cope with scheduled visits and treatment during the study. It may help researchers improve how future lymphedema studies are run.
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.
This study looks at lymphatic “drainage” problems (lymphedema) and how they develop after breast cancer treatment. It may help doctors better understand lymphedema and improve care for people who meet the study safety requirements.
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.
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.
