CDT and Lipedema - Exploring Its Benefits on Limb Volume and Circumference
Manage episode 451996748 series 3393669
This episode highlights a 2020 study by researchers in Ankara, Turkey, published in Lymphatic Research and Biology. The study examines the impact of complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) combined with an intermittent pneumatic compression pump on reducing limb circumference and volume in lipedema patients. While limited by the absence of a control group, the findings suggest this combined approach may be an effective treatment option. The study underscores the potential role of manual lymph drainage, recommending further research to clarify its benefits.
