Comparison between MLD and LymphaTouch treatment in lymphedema patients

Comparison of manual lymphatic drainage massage and negative pressure massage therapy efficacy in lymphedema patients: a randomized controlled study.

Breast cancer-related lymphedema treament with negative pressure device

1 in 5 women develop lymphedema (LE) following breast cancer (BC) treatment. If untreated, LE may become chronic and result in persistent swelling, inflammation, skin thickening, and abnormal fibro-adipose tissue deposition. Current conservative treatments do not specifically address secondary soft tissue changes that may limit response to treatment. The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate efficacy of treatment for chronic LE using a negative-pressure device, which mobilizes skin and subcutaneous tissue to support lymphatic circulation.

A negative pressure application in comparison to manual lymphatic drainage after elbow surgery

Postoperative swelling after elbow surgery: influence of a negative pressure application in comparison to manual lymphatic drainage—a randomized controlled trial

Experimental and computational analysis of soft tissue mechanical response under negative pressure in forearm

Experimental And Computational Analysis Of Soft Tissue Mechanical Response Under Negative Pressure In Forearm

Interstitial fluid movement in soft tissue under negative pressure

Purpose: Journal publication that uses computer-based finite-element model of soft tissue to analyze how pulsating and continuous modes in LymphaTouch device affect fluid flow, velocity, and pressure. The model response was matched with negative pressure (suction) measurements in human (N=11) forearm. Two experimental suction protocols were simulated to evaluate their impact on interstitial fluid flow in soft tissues. Simulated continuous suction was up to 27 times more efficient in fluid transportation compared to the cyclic suctio

The effect of LymphaTouch vs. sham treatment in acute low back pain

Background: Low back pain is the number one global burden, affecting 80% of people in the US at some point in their life. The LymphaTouch® is a medical treatment device which uses the effects of negative pressure in tissues for pain and swelling. It has been shown to improve pain 63.9%, with an average 3.5 decrease in pain scores in back and hip patients. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of LymphaTouch® versus a sham treatment on pain and range of motion in individuals with acute low back pai
