U.S., March 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07489248) titled 'Multimodal Ultrasound for Differentiating Lymphedema and Lipedema' on March 19.
Brief Summary: The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasonography in differentiating between lymphedema and lipedema. Differentiating these two chronic conditions based solely on clinical examination can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms. This study will utilize various non-invasive ultrasound techniques-including B-mode ultrasound, strain elastography, power Doppler, and quantitative ImageJ analysis-to compare tissue characteristics among patients with lymphedema, patients with lipedema, and h...
