Effectiveness of digital combined decongestive therapy for lower extremity lymphedema: a prospective single-arm clinical trial with follow-up.

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital combined decongestive therapy (CDT) for patients with lower extremity lymphedema.
• Conducted as a prospective single-arm clinical trial
• Included follow-up assessments to evaluate outcomes
• Measured extremity volume and functionality pre- and post-intervention
• Digital CDT significantly reduces extremity volume in patients
• Improves functionality of the affected limbs over short and long terms
• Demonstrates potential as a more accessible alternative to conventional CDT
