In 15 patients with lipedema and secondary lymphedema, complete decongestive therapy plus pneumatic compression (mean 28.2 days) significantly reduced lower-limb volume (left: 15,958→15,110 mL, p=0.011; right: 16,132→14,779 mL, p=0.001) and circumference at most measurement points, though peri-patellar circumference did not respond.
