Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients diagnosed with lipedema were divided into 3 stages according to disease severity. Pain level was evaluated with visual analogue scale, pain threshold with algometric measurement, and quality of life with EQ-5D general quality of life scale. All patients underwent measurements using B-mode ultrasound and subcutaneous elastic modulus with shear wave elastography (SWE) imaging of lower limbs at three anatomical levels.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Stage 1 lipedema patients

It is the stage where normal skin surface, enlarged subcutaneous fat tissue, and many small nodules are present upon palpation.

SWE:B-mode ultrasound and subcutaneous elastic modulus with shear wave elastography at three level

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Visual analog scale(VAS):This scale measure in which individuals rate their pain from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain at all and 10 representing the worst pain;pain threshold through algometric measurement; quality of life using the EQ-5D general quality of life scale.

Stage 2 lipedema patients

It is the stage with rough skin surface, large nodules of palpable subcutaneous fat tissue

SWE:B-mode ultrasound and subcutaneous elastic modulus with shear wave elastography at three level

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Visual analog scale(VAS):This scale measure in which individuals rate their pain from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain at all and 10 representing the worst pain;pain threshold through algometric measurement; quality of life using the EQ-5D general quality of life scale.

Stage 3 lipedema patients

It is the stage in which lobular deformation of the skin surface occurs with enlarged fatty tissue.

SWE:B-mode ultrasound and subcutaneous elastic modulus with shear wave elastography at three level

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Visual analog scale(VAS):This scale measure in which individuals rate their pain from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain at all and 10 representing the worst pain;pain threshold through algometric measurement; quality of life using the EQ-5D general quality of life scale.
