Can shock waves and magnets ease swollen limbs after cancer?
NCT ID NCT06041958
Summary
This study is testing two non-invasive therapies to see if they can help control lymphedema, a condition that causes painful and disfiguring limb swelling, often after cancer treatment. Researchers will apply shock wave therapy (like that used for tennis elbow) and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy to 90 patients to see if they reduce swelling, skin thickness, and hardness. The goal is to find new ways to manage this chronic condition, for which there is currently no cure.
