LIPEDEMA

This study tests whether adding a personalized anti-inflammatory diet to standard physical therapy (compression, massage, and exercise) reduces leg swelling and improves quality of life in women with lipedema. 75 women aged 18-65 with stage I-III lipedema will be randomly assigne…

This study will compare two types of supervised cycling exercise (high-intensity intervals or moderate continuous cycling) combined with compression therapy against compression plus a home walking program in 69 women with lipedema. The goal is to see which approach best reduces l…

This study tests whether adding shockwave therapy to standard care (like compression and massage) can reduce pain and swelling in women with lipedema. Fifty women aged 18-65 with early-stage lipedema will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard care…

This study investigates whether a natural molecule called Maresin-1, which helps reduce inflammation, is linked to lipedema—a chronic condition causing painful fat buildup in women. Researchers will measure Maresin-1 levels in the blood of women with lipedema, women with obesity …

This study looks at whether vein problems are linked to pain, swelling, and daily function in women with lipedema. Researchers will use ultrasound to check leg veins and ask participants about their symptoms. The goal is to better understand how these conditions interact, which c…

This study will compare women with knee osteoarthritis who also have lipedema (a fat tissue disorder) to those without lipedema. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure knee cartilage thickness and questionnaires to assess pain and daily function. The goal is to understand if …

This study will test a specially trained AI model (like ChatGPT) to see if it can help doctors correctly diagnose and recommend treatments for lymphedema, lipedema, and venous insufficiency. Researchers will compare the AI's suggestions to current medical guidelines. The goal is …
