Trial Outcomes & Findings for Flexitouch® Home Maintenance Therapy or Standard Home Maintenance Therapy in Treating Patients With Lower-Extremity Lymphedema Caused by Treatment for Cervical Cancer, Vulvar Cancer, or Endometrial Cancer (NCT NCT00577317)

NCT ID: NCT00577317

Last Updated: 2021-06-23

Results Overview

Volume for both lower extremities were going to be measured to determine if using the Flexi-touch was a more effective method to control lymphedema. Given that the study closed due to poor accrual (2 participants) analysis was not done.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From registration to study discontinuation. A maximum of 7 months.

Population: Eligible and evaluable participants. There were no evaluable participants due to low accrual.

Volume for both lower extremities were going to be measured to determine if using the Flexi-touch was a more effective method to control lymphedema. Given that the study closed due to poor accrual (2 participants) analysis was not done.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From registration to study discontinuation. A maximum of 7 months.

Quality of life was to be assessed to compare QOL between arms. Due to poor accrual (2 participants) and study closure, data was not collected and analysis was not done. There are no results to report due to the limited number of participants.

Outcome measures
