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 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 trial tests a combination of special massage, compression, exercise, and diet to help women with lipedema reduce pain and swelling. It looks at whether these treatments together can improve your quality of life.
This study compares two types of exercise—one in water and one on land—to see which may work better for women with lipedema, a condition that causes painful fat buildup in the legs and arms. The goal is to find out if water-based exercise offers any extra benefits, like reduced pain or swelling, compared with standard land-based exercise.
This trial tests if extracorporeal shock wave therapy (a non-invasive treatment using sound waves) can help people with lipedema. It aims to reduce symptoms like pain and swelling.
