CDT vs Pump vs Exercise
Today, I'd like to tell you about a study conducted in Turkey, called The Effects of Complete Decongestive Therapy or Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Therapy or Exercise Only in the Treatment of Severe Lipedema: A Randomized Controlled Trial and was published in Lymphatic Research and Biology in December 2020.
The researchers were interested in the effects of various interventions for women with later stage lipedema.
This study suggests that exercise is an important component of treatment for stage 3-4 lipedema and, when combined with manual lymph drainage and compression bandaging, more optimal results can be experienced.
