Use of a Portable, Non-pneumatic Active Compression Device in treatment of Phlebolymphedema: a TEAYS sub-analysis

The NPCD is a clinically effective treatment for decreasing limb volume in patients with lower extremity LED. The NPCD was more effective than an APCD and resulted in superior limb volume decrease, greater improved quality of life, adherence, mobility, and patient satisfaction. The outcomes for the subset of patients diagnosed with PLED corroborates the improvements seen in the overall LED study patient population previously reported. Additionally, results suggest that PLED patients may potentially benefit even more from NPCD than non-PLED patients.
