Compression boots for leg swelling in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have swelling in both legs that leaves a dent when pressed (pitting edema).
- You are being treated for heart failure with IV diuretics (water pills given through a vein).
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure, and your heart's pumping ability may be reduced or normal but with other signs.
- You have high pressure in the blood vessels of your lungs (pulmonary hypertension).
- You do not have severe leg wounds, blood clots, or kidney failure requiring dialysis.

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.
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 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 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 a new home monitoring device for people with heart failure and leg swelling. The device helps track fluid changes early, so you may be able to avoid hospital stays.
