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 tests whether strength-training exercises can help reduce swelling in the lower leg caused by lymphedema. You'll wear compression garments as usual and add supervised resistance exercises to see if they improve your symptoms and quality of life.
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 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 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 tests if using a foot pedal device while lying down can help reduce leg swelling in the hospital. It aims to see if this simple exercise can improve comfort and outcomes for people with fluid buildup.
