New study reveals hidden physical toll of lipedema
NCT ID NCT06866847
First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study looked at 30 women — half with lipedema and half without — to measure differences in leg muscle strength, endurance, walking ability, pain sensitivity, and swelling. Researchers used simple tests like a 6-minute walk and a sit-to-stand test. The goal was to better understand how lipedema affects physical function, not to test a treatment.
