Clinical Trial Summary

The treatment of lymphoedema and its associated complications represent a considerable drain on increasingly limited NHS resources. Intermittent pneumatic compression, specifically the LymphAssist (Huntleigh Healthcare), represents an innovative treatment for this condition but the efficacy of this device needs to be investigated via robust clinical research.


Clinical Trial Description

This feasibility study aims to evaluate a proposed methodology designed to assess the efficacy of IPC in the treatment of lymphoedema. The study methodology consisted of a pilot randomised control trial of IPC plus standard lymphoedema care versus standard lymphoedema care alone. Feasibility outcomes included impact on lower limb volume. ;
