Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Patients With Lipedema (LIPO-ESWT)
Evaluation of the Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Pain, Quality of Life, and Ultrasonographic Findings in Patients With Lipedema
Lipedema is a chronic adipose tissue disorder characterized by pain, tenderness, disproportionate fat accumulation, and impaired quality of life. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been proposed as a non-invasive treatment option that may improve pain and tissue characteristics in patients with lipedema.
The aim of this prospective interventional study is to evaluate the effects of ESWT on pain intensity, quality of life, functional outcomes, and ultrasonographic findings in patients diagnosed with lipedema. Participants will receive a standardized ESWT protocol consisting of six treatment sessions over a two-week period. Clinical assessments and ultrasonographic examinations will be performed before and after treatment.

Descrizione dettagliata
Lipedema is a chronic progressive disorder of adipose tissue that predominantly affects women and is characterized by symmetrical enlargement of the extremities, pain, tenderness, easy bruising, and reduced quality of life. Despite increasing recognition of the disease, effective treatment options remain limited.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has demonstrated beneficial effects in several musculoskeletal and soft tissue disorders through mechanisms including pain modulation, improvement of microcirculation, stimulation of tissue remodeling, and reduction of fibrosis. However, evidence regarding its effectiveness in patients with lipedema remains limited.
This prospective single-arm interventional study aims to investigate the clinical and ultrasonographic effects of ESWT in patients with lipedema. Eligible adult participants diagnosed with lipedema will undergo six ESWT sessions administered three times per week for two consecutive weeks.
Outcome assessments will include pain intensity measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), pressure pain threshold measured by algometry, patient-reported outcomes assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), limb circumference measurements, and ultrasonographic evaluation of tissue characteristics.
Assessments will be performed at baseline and after completion of treatment. The primary objective is to evaluate changes in pain and patient-reported outcomes following ESWT. Secondary objectives include assessment of changes in ultrasonographic findings and limb measurements.
The findings of this study may provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of ESWT as a non-invasive treatment option for patients with lipedema.
