NCT ID: NCT06302361 Recruiting - Lymphedema Clinical Trials

Lymphovenous Anastomosis for Breast Cancer Lymphedema

Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This multi-center cohort study focuses on evaluating the efficacy of lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) for treating pitting lymphedema in female breast cancer survivors. Conducted across multiple centers in Denmark, including Odense University Hospital, Herlev Hospital, Lillebaelt Hospital Vejle, and Zealand University Hospital, it aims to assess LVA's impact on reducing arm volume and improving quality of life in patients with upper extremity lymphedema secondary to breast cancer treatment. Eligible participants are adult women with unilateral arm lymphedema who show active pitting and identifiable lymphatic vessels via indocyanine green lymphography. Inclusion involves informed consent and the ability to complete Danish questionnaires. Patients are recruited from the outpatient clinics of the participating hospitals and will undergo LVA surgery under either local or general anesthesia. Following the intervention, patients are seen for data collection up to twelve months. The study measures outcomes like arm volume changes through water displacement volumetry and arm circumferential measurements, body composition via bioimpedance, health-related quality of life through LYMPH-Q, general quality of life through SF-36, arm function via DASH, and anastomosis patency via ICG lymphography. Additionally, changes in ICG lymphography images, arm fibrosis via SkinFibroMeter, and surgery duration are evaluated. The study adheres to ethical guidelines, ensuring patient safety and the integrity of the research.

NCT ID: NCT04797390 Active, not recruiting - Lymphedema Clinical Trials

A Study Evaluating an Advanced Pneumatic Compression Device Versus Usual Care for Treatment of Head and Neck Lymphedema

Start date: September 23, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To compare the effectiveness of an APCD to Usual Care in the management of lymphedema and fibrosis (LEF) in head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors.

NCT ID: NCT03945838 Completed - Lymphedema Arm Clinical Trials

Assessment of Muscle Strength and Volume Changes in Patients With Breast Cancer- Related Lymphedema

Start date: April 4, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study aims to find whether complete decongestive therapy used in breast cancer-related lymphedema has an effect on muscle strength in the affected arm, while assessing the efficacy of the therapy itself. 74 patients with breast cancer related lymphedema were included in this study. Patients were taken their demographic and clinical history and were evaluated with measurements of extremity volumes and hand grip strengths using a hand dynamometer before and after the complete decongestive therapy. Data were then assessed using relevant statistical methods.
