|
Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
|
Change in Fibrous Septa Prominence
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
The prominence of fibrous septa within the subcutaneous tissue will be assessed by ultrasound at predefined lower-extremity anatomical landmarks using a visual scoring system ranging from 0 to 3. Higher scores indicate greater fibrotic septal prominence.
Change from baseline will be evaluated.
|
Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
|
Change in Subcutaneous Fat Tissue Echogenicity
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
Subcutaneous fat tissue echogenicity will be assessed by ultrasound at predefined lower-extremity anatomical landmarks using a visual scoring system ranging from 0 to 3. Higher scores indicate greater echogenicity.
Change from baseline will be evaluated.
|
Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
|
Change in Rectus Femoris Muscle Thickness
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
Rectus femoris muscle thickness will be measured by ultrasound in millimeters (mm) at a standardized anatomical site.
Change from baseline will be evaluated.
|
Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
|
Change in Rectus Femoris Muscle Echogenicity
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
Rectus femoris muscle echogenicity will be assessed by ultrasound at a standardized anatomical site using a visual grading scale from Grade 1 to Grade 3. Higher grades indicate greater muscle echogenicity.
Change from baseline will be evaluated.
|
Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
|
Change in Abdominal Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Thickness
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|

|
|
Change in Patient Benefit Index-Lymphedema (PBI-L) Score
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
The Patient Benefit Index-Lymphedema (PBI-L) is a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess the perceived benefit of treatment in individuals with lymphedema.
It includes 23 items addressing treatment goals and the extent to which these goals have been achieved.
Scores range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating greater patient-perceived treatment benefit.
Change from baseline to the specified follow-up time point will be evaluated.

|
|
Change in LYMQOL-Leg Score
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
The LYMQOL-Leg is an 18-item, lymphedema-specific quality-of-life questionnaire for patients with lower-limb lymphedema.
It assesses the impact of lymphedema across relevant quality-of-life domains.
Domain scores range from 1 to 4, with lower scores indicating a better outcome and less lymphedema-related impairment.
Change from baseline to the specified follow-up time point will be assessed.
|
Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
|
Change in SF-12 Physical Component Summary Score
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
The 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) Physical Component Summary (PCS) score assesses physical health status, including physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, bodily pain, and general health perceptions.
Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical health status.
Change from baseline to the specified follow-up time point will be analyzed.
|
Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
|
Change in SF-12 Mental Component Summary Score
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
The SF-12 Mental Component Summary (MCS) score assesses mental health status, including psychological well-being, emotional role functioning, social functioning, and vitality.
Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better mental health status.
Change from baseline to the specified follow-up time point will be evaluated.
|
Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
|
Change in Beck Depression Inventory Score
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12
|
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-item self-report questionnaire used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms.
Total scores range from 0 to 63, with lower scores indicating fewer depressive symptoms.
Change from baseline to the specified follow-up time point will be assessed, with a decrease in score indicating improvement.
