Pedal pump for leg swelling
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a device called a 'pedal pump' that helps move fluid out of your legs to reduce swelling. It may help if you have fluid buildup from conditions like heart failure or kidney disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have swelling in both legs (at least mild).
- Your doctor must think the swelling is due to a condition like heart failure, kidney disease, vein problems, or similar fluid buildup.
- You must be medically stable and able to sit with your head raised for 10 minutes.
- You must be in the emergency room, observation unit, hospital, or a heart failure clinic.
- You cannot have certain complications (like active blood clots, open sores, recent leg/back surgery, or be pregnant).
