In an exploratory cross-sectional study of 118 women, lipedema patients showed higher neuropathic pain prevalence (42% vs 21%) and higher painDETECT/LANSS scores than lymphedema patients, with strong correlations between pain intensity, catastrophizing, and anxiety, but the study did not assess fibromyalgia specifically.
