Device study for one-arm swelling after lymph surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests a medical device (Dayspring Technology) to reduce swelling in the arm caused by breast cancer treatment and lymph surgery. You may be eligible if you have one-sided arm swelling after lymphatic surgery and meet safety checks for the device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older and able to sign consent and follow study steps
- Have swelling in an arm (upper limb edema) and have or will have lymphatic surgery with Dr. Nguyen
- Have more than 3% size/volume difference between your two arms
- Do not have an active/recent infection or untreated wounds on the arm
- Not have blood clot problems in the past 2–6 months, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
This trial studies a new procedure meant to lower the chance of getting lymphedema (arm swelling) after breast cancer surgery that removes lymph nodes in the armpit. It may help patients reduce the risk of long-term arm swelling, especially after lymph node dissection.
This trial looks at new tools to detect lymphedema (breast or arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you had breast-conserving surgery, radiation, and have finished active therapy (except certain hormone treatments), researchers want to see if a simple device can spot fluid buildup early.
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.
This study compares a standard treatment (complete decongestive therapy) with a non-pneumatic (no air pump) compression device to reduce arm swelling in women who have had a mastectomy for breast cancer.
