Summary

This study tested a new portable, non-pneumatic compression device (Dayspring) against a standard pneumatic compression device for treating leg lymphedema. 121 adults with leg swelling used each device for three months, with a month off in between. Researchers measured changes in limb volume, quality of life, and how often people used the device.
