Study Participants Needed in San FranciscoYou can help researchers at University of California, San Francisco learn if treatment using a new negative pressure massage device is safe and effective at improving lymphedema swelling, skin condition, and movement, compared to manual lymphatic drainage massage. Study is open to women with lymphedema in only one arm, of at least one year duration, that has not changed significantly in the past 3 months. Participants will be paid $50 for their time, have parking paid, and will receive 12 massage treatments for their lymphedema arm.
