LYMPHEDEMA

This study looked at whether adding a special type of physiotherapy after lymphovenous anastomosis surgery helps people with lymphedema more than physiotherapy alone. Lymphedema is a condition where fluid builds up and causes swelling, often after cancer treatment. The study invo…

This study tested new adhesive sensors that stick to the skin to see if they can detect early signs of lymphedema, a painful arm swelling that can happen after cancer treatment. Researchers compared readings from 76 people with and without lymphedema. The goal is to create a simp…

This study tested a wearable compression device called Dayspring for people with leg lymphedema (swelling). Twenty-four adults used the device for at least 45 minutes daily over 3 months. The goal was to see if it safely reduces swelling and improves quality of life. Results focu…

This study tested a new device to treat lymphedema, a condition that causes painful arm swelling. Fifteen adults with lymphedema wore the device for 40 minutes. Researchers measured arm size, pain, and side effects before and after use. The goal was to see if the device safely re…

This study looked at whether adding a machine called LPG Cellu M6 to standard treatment helps reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) in breast cancer survivors. 93 women with moderate to severe lymphedema took part. The goal was to see if more than 30% of the extra fluid in the arm cou…

This study compared a new wearable compression device (Dayspring) to a standard pneumatic pump for treating arm swelling caused by breast cancer treatment. Fifty adults with lymphedema used both devices in a crossover design. Researchers measured arm volume changes and quality of…

This study tested a new portable, non-pneumatic compression device (like a wearable sleeve) against a standard pneumatic pump for treating leg lymphedema (swelling). 121 adults with leg swelling from lymphedema or vein problems took part. The goal was to see if the new device cou…

This study looked at whether starting a personalized exercise program before breast cancer surgery helps women recover better. Thirty female survivors followed the program for 12 months. The goal was to improve shoulder motion, reduce pain, and enhance daily function and quality …

This study tested a 12-week program combining gentle exercises with advanced compression sleeves to reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) in breast cancer survivors. Sixty women with mild to moderate lymphedema participated. The goal was to see if the combination is practical and help…

This study compared an advanced pneumatic compression device (APCD) to usual care for managing lymphedema (swelling) in 236 head and neck cancer survivors. The device uses air pressure to reduce fluid buildup and fibrosis. The goal was to see if it improves swelling, symptoms, an…

This study tested small, wearable sensors to see if they can accurately measure lymphedema (swelling) in the arm. Thirty adults with lymphedema after cancer treatment wore the sensors during one measurement session. The goal was to see if the sensors could detect fluid buildup an…

This study looked at 110 breast cancer patients to see if arm swelling (lymphedema) is linked to a painful muscle condition called myofascial pain syndrome. Researchers measured trigger points, pain thresholds, and hand strength. The goal was to understand how these conditions af…

This study looked at whether focused questionnaires can detect lymphedema—a swelling complication—earlier than physical measurements like arm circumference. Researchers followed 101 breast cancer patients who had armpit lymph node removal. The goal was to improve early detection …
