Pressure device for reducing leg swelling
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a device that uses gentle pressure to reduce leg swelling during a hospital-based treatment. It may help you if the swelling is in one leg and is large enough to benefit from this intensive therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- The swelling must be in one leg only, not both.
- Your swollen leg must be at least 10% larger than the other leg.
- You must be able to use the device and have a leg shape that fits it.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeed, or have certain heart, kidney, or blood clot conditions.
- You cannot have open skin lesions or an active infection in the leg.

This trial tests a leg compression device for people with lymphedema in one leg. It aims to reduce swelling and improve symptoms, and may be an option if you have completed initial treatment and still have significant swelling.
This study tests a new portable device that wraps around your leg to gently squeeze and reduce swelling from lymphedema or vein problems. It aims to see if at-home use can improve symptoms and lower healthcare costs compared to standard care.
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.
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.
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 study tests whether strength-training exercises can help reduce swelling in the lower leg caused by lymphedema. You'll wear compression garments as usual and add supervised resistance exercises to see if they improve your symptoms and quality of life.
