Summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) when added to standard conservative treatment in women with primary lipedema. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard conservative therapy alone or standard therapy combined with radial ESWT. The study will assess changes in pain intensity (VAS), limb circumference measurements, quality of life (SF-36), and patient satisfaction over an 8-week period. Evaluations will be performed at baseline, at the end of the 4-week treatment phase, and at 4-week follow-up. This trial seeks to provide evidence on whether ESWT offers additional clinical benefit in the management of primary lipedema.
