Summary
This study tests whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can help reduce leg swelling and improve quality of life in people with lower limb lymphedema. Thirty-six adults who are already using standard compression therapy will receive either real or sham ESWT twice a week for five sessions. Researchers will measure changes in leg volume, skin thickness, pain, and function right after treatment and again one month later.
