This pilot study examined whether whole body cyclic pneumatic hypobaric compression could relieve pain in patients with Adiposis dolorosa (AD). The researchers used a touch-free method called the Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning (CVAC), which they concluded may help relieve pain from AD, and possibly from other chronic pain disorders as well.
This article provides background information about lipedema, and describes a study conducted to determine whether liposuction is a viable treatment for lipedema. The study concluded that liposuction can significantly improve the symptoms of lipedema.
This article investigates whether liposuction using tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) is a safe procedure, and concludes that TLA is safe provided that the procedure complies with existing guidelines.
This article provides a comprehensive review of the lipoedema literature, including clinical presentation, historical classifications, differential diagnosis, and various therapy options.
This study tested whether complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) could reduce capillary fragility (CF) in patients with lipedema, concluding that in general CDP could reduce CF for lipedema patients, and might lead to less bruising.
This article presents a series of pedigrees to support the proposition that lipedema is a genetic condition, distinct from obesity and associated with pain, tenderness, and bruising. Lipedema appears to almost exclusively affect females, and is presumably estrogen-requiring, as it often manifests at puberty.
This article is a case study of a lipoedema patient whose symptoms worsened after undergoing varicose vein surgery, and discusses the risks of this procedure for lipoedema and lymphedema patients.
This article provides an overview of lipedema, including symptoms and treatments, and distinguishes lipedema from other diseases.
This article uses a case study to illustrate the tremendous functional gains that individuals with lipo-lymphedema can achieve with proper diagnosis, education, and treatment.
