NCT ID NCT06695403
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two exercise approaches—supervised Pilates and telerehabilitation (remote Pilates)—to see which better improves exercise capacity and quality of life in women with lipedema. Participants will also follow a low-carb, high-fat diet for 12 weeks. The goal is to find effective, accessible ways to manage symptoms like pain and limited mobility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Pilates exercise and telerehabilitation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that home-based telerehabilitation is as effective as supervised Pilates for improving exercise capacity and quality of life in women with lipedema.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 60 participants, so results may not apply to all people with lipedema. The diet component may also influence outcomes, making it hard to isolate the effect of exercise alone.
