Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Lipedema is a disease characterized by bilateral abnormal fat deposition in the upper and lower extremities. Pain is a common symptom in lipedema.Vitamin D plays an important role in chronic pain. Vitamin B have analgesic role in some neuropathic pain conditions.This study aimedto evaluate the relationship between vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels and neuropathic pain in lipedema.

Detailed Description

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

In this cross sectional study 200 lipedema patients will beincluded. According to painDETECT questionnaire scores of cases with lipedema patients will be divided into two groups;An overall score of \> 13 likely or possible neuropathic pain (group 1) and \<13 unlikely NP (group 2). Patients' age, gender, comorbid diseases and laboratory values (25 OH vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels) will be recorded.
