Surgery vs. bandages: which helps lymphedema patients live better?
NCT ID NCT03248310
Summary
This study aims to compare the long-term quality of life for people with lymphedema who choose to have a specific surgery (vascularized lymph node transfer) versus those who choose non-surgical management. It will follow 600 adults with arm or leg swelling to see which approach helps patients feel better in their daily lives over time. The main goal is to understand if surgery leads to better long-term well-being compared to standard non-surgical care.
