Home body water analyzer could spot lymphedema early
NCT ID NCT06580743
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a home body water analyzer can help detect lymphedema early in breast cancer survivors. Lymphedema is a common side effect of breast cancer treatment that causes arm swelling. 52 participants used the device at home for 12 months, and researchers compared the readings to a clinical device. The goal was to see if early detection could lead to better management of the condition.
