New Compression Device for Leg Lymphedema Treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests a newer version of a pneumatic compression device (a machine that gently squeezes your leg to reduce swelling) for lymphedema—persistent swelling in the lower leg or foot. Researchers want to see if the updated compression settings work better to reduce swelling and improve how your leg feels and functions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with active lymphedema (persistent swelling) in your lower leg or foot
- You are healthy enough to use a compression device (no severe heart, blood vessel, or active infection problems)
- You can lie on your back for up to 1 hour and do light leg movement
- You can attend study visits and follow the treatment plan as instructed
