Trial characteristics_2


Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

Changes in clinical symptoms and anthropometric measurements before and after treatment (e.g., limb circumference, severity of edema, skin changes)

Key secondary outcomes

Changes in quality of life (QOL) scores, assessed by standardized questionnaires such as the Lymphedema Quality of Life Inventory or SF-36
Changes in functional status (e.g., activities of daily living [ADL] scores, patient-reported outcomes)
Incidence of complications such as cellulitis
Changes in imaging findings (e.g., lymphangiography, lymphoscintigraphy)
Recurrence rates and need for additional treatment during follow-up
Domain-specific QOL analysis (physical, mental, and social functioning)
Exploratory analyses using other clinically relevant parameters obtainable from medical records and patient questionnaires

Other related information

This is a single-center, prospective observational study utilizing clinical data from Mukumi Clinic. The study will include patients who visit our clinic between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2030, and are diagnosed with lymphedema or other lymphatic disorders. Comprehensive informed consent for the use of clinical data for research purposes will be obtained at the initial visit. Outcome measures include limb circumference, incidence of cellulitis, pain (VAS), tissue stiffness, laboratory data, imaging findings, surgical information, patient satisfaction, and quality of life (QOL) scores, which will be compared before and after treatment. Diagnostic modalities include lymphoscintigraphy, indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography, and ultrasonography. For LVA surgery, postoperative complication rates and outcomes of day surgery will also be evaluated. All clinical data and medical images will be anonymized, and statistical analyses will be performed. In addition, natural language processing, machine learning algorithms, and deep learning techniques will be applied as supplemental AI tools to integrate multidimensional information, aiming to comprehensively evaluate the usefulness and validity of treatment from multiple perspectives.
