New screening tool for leg lymphedema
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have swelling (lymphedema) in one or both legs, either from birth or after cancer treatment
- If your lymphedema is cancer-related, it has been at least 3 months since your last surgery, radiation, or chemo
- You do not have active cancer that has spread (metastases)
- You are able to read and understand Dutch
- You either plan to start intensive treatment, or you finished intensive treatment at least 3 months ago

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.
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 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 tests whether adding a reconstructive lymph surgery to standard lymphoedema care improves symptoms and function. It may help people with moderate lymphoedema who have already tried therapy for several months.
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.
