Studies we participated in:

”Local Tissue Water Changes in Lymphedematous Arms and Thorax in Women with Breast Cancer Treatment Related Lymphedema: Short Term Effects of Sequential Compression Therapy Device: A Pilot Study”.

“Local Tissue Water Assessed by Tissue Dialectic Constant: Anatomical Site and Depth Dependence in Women Prior to Breast Cancer Surgery”

“Local Tissue Water Changes Accompanying a Single Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Treatment in Patients with Lower Extremity Lymphedema”

Healing Hands of Lymphatics and Dr. Harvey Mayrovitz from Nova Southeastern University are working together conducting the following studies:

TISSUE FIBROSIS AS A FACTOR INFLUENCING TISSUE BLOOD FLOW AND OXYGENATION IN WOMEN WITH POST MASTECTOMY LYMPHEDEMA. Its goal is to evaluate effects of arm lymphedema on skin microvascular circulation and determine if edema reduction and changes in tissue properties, subsequent to therapy, helps normalize initial circulatory deficits.

MEASURING SUB-BANDAGE STATIC AND DYNAMIC COMPRESSION PRESSURES. The main goal of this study is to provide initial examples and illustrations of some of the clinically relevant features of various bandages and devices under different conditions.

BIOPHYSICAL EFFECTS OF AUTOMATED DIRECTIONAL COMPRESSION IN PATIENTS WITH BILATERAL LOWER EXTREMITY LYMPHEDEMA USING THE FLEXITOUCH. Its goal is to evaluate the benefits and results of using the Flexitouch system on a person with bilateral lower extremity lymphedema.

ASSESSMENT OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC ARM PRESSURES ACHIEVED WITH A THERAPEUTIC COMPRESSION GARMENT AND A SHORT STRETCH BANDAGE. The main goal is to evaluate the benefits of using different types of compression garments and bandages on a lymphedema arm.
