U.S., Oct. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07857499) titled 'Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation-Enriched Rehabilitation in Individuals With Lipedema' on Sept. 23.

Brief Summary: Lipedema is a chronic inflammatory disorder of adipose tissue that predominantly affects women and is associated with estrogen-mediated mechanisms. [1] Conservative physiotherapy approaches, including exercise, compression therapy, complex decongestive therapy (CDT), and behavioral interventions, are recommended for the management of lipedema. [2,3] Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a neuromodulation method that may reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines through the cholinergic anti-i...
