CDT and Lipedema - Exploring Its Benefits on Limb Volume and Circumference
- 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.
