Salt-water shots for lipomas under the skin
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests injecting cooled or warmed salt water (saline) into lipomas—harmless fatty lumps under the skin—to see if it can shrink or remove them without surgery. It's for people with a single lipoma or many, as long as they're not on the face, too big, or growing fast.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one lipoma just under the skin (not on your face).
- The lipoma is smaller than 10 cm across (about the size of a small grapefruit).
- The lipoma is not growing quickly.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study plan.

This study tests a new, less invasive way to remove fatty lumps (lipomas) using ultrasound to guide a special treatment that breaks them down. It aims to reduce scarring and improve cosmetic results compared to traditional surgery.
This trial tests a new injection called Embella (deoxycholic acid) to treat small, stable lipomas (fatty lumps) on your trunk, arms, or legs. The goal is to see if it safely shrinks the lumps without needing surgery.
This trial is testing a treatment for small, non-cancerous fatty lumps (lipomas) on the body, arms, or legs, but not on the face or neck.
This study tests an injectable drug (Ronkyla Plus) for shrinking fatty lumps (lipomas). It may be a good option if you have one or more lipomas that have not changed in size for at least 6 months.
This study tests a combined treatment for lipedema in women. It combines special massage, exercise, and diet to see if it can reduce pain and swelling, and improve quality of life.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments—ultrasound cavitation and pneumatic compression—to see which better reduces leg fat and swelling in women with mild to moderate lipedema.
