Compression stockings for heart failure with leg swelling
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether wearing compression stockings can help people with heart failure who have leg swelling. Researchers want to see if stockings reduce fluid buildup and improve daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have heart failure (class II or III) with leg swelling that leaves a dent when pressed
- You do not have serious artery disease in your legs (ABI below 0.5)

This trial tests whether wearing compression boots (like inflatable sleeves) can help reduce leg swelling in people hospitalized for acute heart failure. It aims to see if this device can safely and effectively remove extra fluid from the legs.
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 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.
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 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 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.
