Exercise with or without compression: a new hope for leg swelling?
NCT ID NCT07558317
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether doing resistance exercises (like leg presses) can reduce swelling in the lower legs of people with lymphedema. It also checks if wearing compression garments during exercise makes a difference. Thirty-six adults with lower limb lymphedema will exercise 2-3 times a week for two weeks, with and without compression, while their leg size and symptoms are tracked.
