In women with early-stage lipedema, multimodal physical therapy was associated with significant pain reduction (VAS 4.6 to 0.0) and a trend toward decreased tissue sodium content in skin (−9%) and subcutaneous tissue (−8%) measured by sodium MRI, interpreted as indicating reduced tissue inflammation in treated limbs.
