Condition: Chronic Edema · Lymphedema · Sponsor: Universiteit Antwerpen
Patients: Patients targeted in this proposal comprise individuals afflicted by chronic edema/lymphedema of the lower limbs. Intervention: The intervention entails the incorporation of boosted compression alongside standard care during the intensive treatment phase. Boosted compression involves thrice-daily re-application of a multicomponent short stretch compression bandage, aimed at enhancing the efficacy of compression therapy within edema treatment. Comparison: Comparison will be made between the experimental intervention (boosted compression) and the prevailing standard edema treatment, which adheres to the complex decongestive therapy as stipulated by healthcare services, utilizing a single daily application of compression bandage. Standard care is administered under the supervision of trained physical therapists, specialized in edema treatment. Outcome: Primary outcomes encompass the determination of: 1. the requisite number of treatment days to attain a non-pitting edema state during the intensive phase of edema treatment; and 2. the non-inferiority of boosted compression in maintaining reduced edema volume during the maintenance phase assessed at 1y of follow-up. Secondary outcomes encompass assessments of: Quality of Life, acceptance, and adherence to boosted compression, alongside evaluations of time and cost-effectiveness associated with its implementation.
