New wearable device could ease lymphedema without bulky pumps
NCT ID NCT06418282
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new portable device called Dayspring that uses active compression to reduce leg swelling from lymphedema or phlebolymphedema. It will involve 100 veterans and measure cost savings, mobility, and symptom severity. The device is non-pneumatic, meaning it doesn't use air pumps, making it more convenient for daily use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dayspring non-pneumatic active compression device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a more convenient, portable option for managing swelling and improving mobility in people with lymphedema.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with no control group, so results may not prove the device is better than existing treatments. Individual results may vary.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males and females ≥ 18 years of age * Capable and willing to sign the informed consent and deemed capable of following the study protocol * Subjects must have a diagnosis of unilateral or bilateral lower extremity edema or lower extremity lymphedema/phlebolymphedema as a consequence of chronic venous insufficiency * Subjects who have medical clearance using diagnostic confirmation through venous duplex to rule out DVT and superficial/deep reflux Exclusion Criteria: * Inability or unwillingness to participate in all aspects of study protocol and/or inability to provide informed consent * Individuals with a history or presence of a systemic disorder or condition that could place the subject at increased risk from sequential compression therapy * Subjects must not have any diagnosed cognitive or physical impairment that would interfere with the use of the device * Non-ambulatory individuals * Female: BMI \> 34 (5'4", 200 lbs.) * Male: BMI \> 34 (5'9", 230 lbs.) * (Max circumference at patella 58 cm; Max circumference at gluteal fold 75 cm) * Diagnosis of lipedema * Diagnosis of active or recurrent cancer (\< 3 months since completion of chemotherapy, radiation therapy or primary surgery for the cancer) * Diagnosis of acute infection (in the last four weeks) * Diagnosis of active/open wound/ulcer * Diagnosis of acute thrombophlebitis (in last 2 months) * Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis within the previous 6 months * Diagnosis of pulmonary edema * Diagnosis of congestive heart failure (uncontrolled/uncompensated) * Diagnosis of chronic kidney disease with acute renal failure * Diagnosis of epilepsy * Subjects with poorly controlled asthma * Any condition where increased venous and lymphatic return is undesirable * Women who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or nursing at study entry * Participation in any clinical trial of an investigational substance or device during the past 30 days
