Screening and diagnostic test for leg swelling from lymphedema
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This trial is developing a tool to screen for, diagnose, and evaluate lower-limb lymphedema (leg swelling caused by lymph fluid). It may help patients get a more accurate diagnosis and better monitoring of their condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have lymphedema in one or both legs (or swelling caused by lymph fluid problems)
- A scan or skin test shows signs of lymphedema (based on specific measurement or imaging results)
- You can read, understand, and speak Dutch
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have certain leg vein problems, blood clots, or recent skin infections/wounds on your lower legs

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a new tool to help doctors screen, diagnose, and track leg swelling (lymphedema). It involves two groups: people starting intensive treatment and people who are already on maintenance therapy.
This trial tests a stronger compression method for people with long-lasting leg swelling (edema) that is not caused by another medical condition. The goal is to see if it works better than standard care.
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.
This trial tests whether a special compression device called the Dynamic Decongestive System can help keep leg swelling (lymphedema) under control after initial intensive treatment. If you've already reduced your leg swelling by at least 20% through treatment, this study explores whether the device can help you maintain that improvement.
This trial tests whether a special compression device called the Dynamic Decongestive System can reduce swelling in one leg caused by lymphedema (fluid buildup). The study enrolls people with moderate-to-severe leg swelling who need intensive treatment in a hospital.
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.
