NCT ID NCT02061254
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new ultrasound device to measure skin stiffness (fibrosis) in people with lymphedema or venous insufficiency. Researchers compared results from 130 participants, including healthy volunteers, to see if the device could detect differences in skin hardness. The goal was to understand how these conditions affect the skin, not to provide a treatment.
