Advanced Pneumatic Compression for Lymphedema
This study is looking at a new way to use an advanced pneumatic compression device (APCD) to treat lower extremity lymphedema (swelling in the legs). Researchers want to see if a revised compression program works better than the current method to improve how your lymphatic system moves fluid. They will use Indocyanine Green (IC-Green) dye to measure changes in your lymphatic system. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, have lower extremity lymphedema, and are a candidate for APCD treatment. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 5 participants. It compares a single session of the current APCD treatment with a single session using revised compression programming.
- What's involved
- You would have two in-clinic treatment sessions, each lasting 60 minutes. Indocyanine Green dye will be used to assess your lymphatic system before and after each treatment.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Lymphatic anatomy and propulsion will be measured before and after each 60-minute treatment session.
