Shock wave therapy for lipedema
Part of Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether shock wave therapy, a non-invasive treatment using sound waves, can help reduce symptoms of lipedema, a condition that causes painful fat buildup in the legs and arms. If you have lipedema, this treatment might offer a new way to manage your symptoms.
