Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a new ultrasound method can help doctors better understand and treat lymphedema.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have been diagnosed with lymphedema and can give written consent. It's not open to those under 18, anyone unable to consent, or patients who've had certain surgeries like lymphovenous bypass or lymph node transfer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new ultrasound technique called SAVE that measures how fluid moves in tissues and helps determine the severity of lymphedema. Researchers want to see if this method is effective for monitoring the condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves an ultrasound procedure, side effects are minimal but may include temporary discomfort at the site of application or skin irritation.
