Measuring skin stiffness in breast cancer lymphedema
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study checks if a handheld device (called Myoton) can reliably measure skin stiffness and elasticity in the arm affected by lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. It may help doctors monitor lymphedema more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have lymphedema (swelling) in one arm, caused by breast cancer surgery.
- Your lymphedema can be at any stage (from very early to more advanced).
- You do not have lymphedema in both arms.
- You do not have certain skin conditions (like scleroderma) or serious heart problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a new wearable device and a mobile app that can measure arm size to help monitor lymphedema (swelling) after breast surgery. It is looking for patients who have had lymph node removal in the last 6 months to see if this tool is easy to use and helpful.
This trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
This trial tests a new way to measure arm swelling (lymphedema) early in women who have had or will have breast cancer surgery. It aims to catch swelling sooner so treatment can start faster.
This study is looking at whether targeted therapy for breast cancer changes the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema). It is a screening trial that uses a machine to measure arm size and check for any swelling early on.
This trial looks at new tools to detect lymphedema (breast or arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you had breast-conserving surgery, radiation, and have finished active therapy (except certain hormone treatments), researchers want to see if a simple device can spot fluid buildup early.
This study tests a medical device (Dayspring Technology) to reduce swelling in the arm caused by breast cancer treatment and lymph surgery. You may be eligible if you have one-sided arm swelling after lymphatic surgery and meet safety checks for the device.
