Filter by:This study will aim to undertake a preference evaluation comparing the Aria Health Aria Free™ to a competitor's device by assessing overall satisfaction and preference of the devices individually and in comparison to one another. Twenty (20) subjects will be enrolled on this study at one study site in Houston, Texas.
This is a randomized clinical trial, in which the use of an Adjustable compression wrap as a compressive therapy to control the upper limb volume of with lymphedema women secondary to breast cancer will be investigated, in comparison to the use of a compression sleeve conventionally used. It is expected that Adjustable compression wrap will be more effective than standard treatment for the control of lymphedema, in addition to promoting a better quality of life and functionality for women.
This observational, descriptive, retrospective study the clinical and imaging findings of 10 lower legs of 5 patients with previous history of injection of modeling substances for cosmetic purposes at buttocks and hips ande developed lower limb edema. Lower limb lymphedema index and lymphoscintigraphy findings were evaluated and reported.
Selected measurements in healthy persons of skin tissue dielectric constant as reference values for subsequent use to evaluate patients with head and neck lymphedema.
MOBIDERM® demonstrated his interest through clinical studies on the treatment of lower or upper limb lymphedema (Mestre et al 2017; Quéré et al. 2014). This CE (Conformity European)-marking device is well established both in ambulatory and hospitalisation. Nevertheless, the mechanism of action of this device had never been confirmed and no experimental clinical studies had been performed. The hypothesis is that the MOBIDERM system creates a pressure differential between the contact zone underneath the foam cubes composing the system and their surrounding area, leading to a shear effect on the subcutaneous tissues treated. The aim of this study is thus to assess the mechanism of action of MOBIDERM on the lymphatic system by evaluating quantitative and qualitative effects of this medical device on lymphatic system, oedema volume and cutaneous parameters in 10 lymphoedema patients during their hospitalisation for reduction phase.
Participants with lymphedema secondary to cancer treatment will participate in a two week rehabilitation programme focusing on physical therapy treatment and a two week programme focusing on physical exercise. The purpose is to assess the effect of the rehabilitation programmes on lymphedema and measures of physical performance.
This study will be a 4 to 6 week randomized, controlled, assessor blinded, trial comparing a negative pressure massage device (intervention group), to the standard manual lymph drainage massage (control group), in breast cancer patients with chronic upper extremity lymphedema.
