Testing a compression device for leg swelling treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have swelling in one leg (not both) caused by lymphedema, stage II or III, with at least 10% size difference between your legs
- You need intensive hospital-based treatment for your leg swelling
- You do not have active cancer requiring chemotherapy or recent cancer relapse
- You do not have heart problems, recent blood clots, severe circulation problems, or severe diabetes complications
- You have no open wounds, active skin infections, or severe nerve damage in the affected leg

This trial tests whether a special compression device called the Dynamic Decongestive System can help keep leg swelling (lymphedema) under control after initial intensive treatment. If you've already reduced your leg swelling by at least 20% through treatment, this study explores whether the device can help you maintain that improvement.
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 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 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 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.
