Lipedema pain mystery: could it be in the nerves?
NCT ID NCT06770634
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study examines whether women with lipedema have a condition called central sensitization, where the nervous system becomes overly sensitive to pain. Researchers will measure pain thresholds and use ultrasound in 50 participants, comparing them to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand the pain associated with lipedema and improve future diagnosis and care.
