What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Current intensive CDPOther

    Standard Intensive CDP including

    • manual lymph drainage,
    • pressotherapy and
    • bandaging
  • intensive CDP where Stendo pulsating suit replaces pressotherapyOther

    The intervention consist to perform daily during 5 days an intensive CDP where pressotheray is replaced by Stndo pulsating suit sessions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. volume of the most affected leg

    Measured: baseline ; after 5 days intensive CDP

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of Life

    36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36) and Visual Analogical Scale

    Measured: baseline ; after 5 days intensive CDP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Current intensive CDP and intensive CDP where Stendo pulsating suit replaces pressotherapy in people with Primary Lower Limb Lymphedema and Secondary Lower Limb Lymphedema, run by Stendo at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

volume of the most affected leg (time frame: baseline ; after 5 days intensive CDP). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02234674, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 May 2015.
