Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study is designed to gain preliminary information via a uniform protocol regarding the clinical effects of Vasculera in participants with lipedema and the possible role of the glycocalyx as a physiological target for Vasculera activity. It is anticipated that the results of this case study will inform the development of a formal randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial.

Detailed Description

The goal of this type of clinical trial is to compare the measurement of participants legs before treatment and after using the treatment for approximately 3 months in clinic patients 20 to 70 years old with lipedema. The main questions it aims to answer are: does the leg circumference decrease and does the participants' overall wellbeing improve?

Participants will:

  • Have physical examinations and measurements at baseline and 3 month visit
  • Complete wellbeing self-assessments at baseline and 3 month visit
  • Have blood drawn for chemical markers at baseline and 3 month visit
  • Complete four visits total
