Summary
This study tests whether combining two non-invasive therapies—infrared light (MIRE) and electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)—can reduce leg swelling caused by nerve-related blood flow problems. About 1000 adults with lower leg swelling took part. The main goal is to see if the treatment works, not to cure the underlying condition.
