First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study explores whether injecting cooled or warmed salt water (saline) directly into lipomas—harmless fatty lumps under the skin—can shrink them. About 20 adults with at least one lipoma will receive up to four injections, each four weeks apart. Researchers will measure pain, redness, and changes in lipoma size using ultrasound. The goal is to find a more comfortable, non-surgical alternative to current removal methods.
