简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between disease severity and subcutaneous tissue shearwave elastography findings with pain threshold and quality of life in patients diagnosed with lipedema.
详细描述
Patients diagnosed with lipedema were divided into 3 stages according to disease severity. Pain level was evaluated with visual analogue scale, pain threshold with algometric measurement, and quality of life with EQ-5D general quality of life scale. All patients underwent measurements using B-mode ultrasound and subcutaneous elastic modulus with shear wave elastography (SWE) imaging of lower limbs at three anatomical levels.
