L. Honigman, O. Bar-Bachar, D. Yarnitsky, Y. Granovsky. 9th Congress of the European Pain Federation, Vienna, Austria, 2015. Abstract. In this neurological study, compression with Lympha Pants® and Lympha Press Optimal® reduced the perception of experimental pain stimulus applied to the hands, showing that large-area lower-body compression may have an analgesic effect.
M.B. Aldrich, J.C. Rasmussen, A. Ben Noon, J.R. Morrow, K. Ashforth, B. Crews, C.E. Fife. World Congress of Lymphology, San Francisco CA, September 2015. Abstract.This groundbreaking study is the first to demonstrate the direct effect of pneumatic compression on lymphatic function in lymphedema-affected extremities and showed how Lympha Press® stimulated lymph vessel uptake and transport in “real time” during a treatment session.

Patel M, Pesek E, Lantis JC II. Presented at Symposium on Advanced Wound Care, Spring, May 2019, San Antonio TX USA.Patients with chronic venous stasis ulcers were treated with Lympha Press® PCD-51™ and multilayer bandaging, at home for eight weeks. All five patients were compliant with the treatment and showed reduction of edema, reduced wound size, odor, pain, and exudate. Four of the five patients had complete wound healing.
Vein Magazine, 2020The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the three states of lymphatic treatment and the importance of taking a multidisciplinary approach to edema management.
Karen Ashforth, MS, OTR, CLT-LANA. January 2022. Saint Joseph’s Medical Center, Stockton, California. In this case series, three breast cancer-related lymphedema patients with significant thoracic pain, swelling, and fibrosis displayed a significant decrease in arm and thoracic swelling after using intermittent pneumatic therapy at home. Treatment occurred over a subsequent 3-4 week period with a Lympha Press half jacket that treated the thorax with direct compression via a dedicated axillary chamber. Final measurements show a carryover of decongestion for up to three days following Lympha Press treatment, as well as reduced pain symptoms.
C C Campisi, E Parodi, A Demoro, R Risso, W D Brinda, C Campisi; Lymphology 2023This study evaluates the impact of adding intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) to complete decongestive therapy (CDT) for reducing limb volume in lower limb lymphedema patients before lymphatic surgery.
L. VanHoose, S. Kanaan, E. Haynes, T. Messer. Originally presented at the XVII World Meeting of the International Union of Phlebology, September 2013. University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS. This study’s objective was identification of additive benefits of a novel pneumatic compression therapy, the LymphaPod® (Lympha Press®, Glen Mills, PA), to a conventional therapy plan for the treatment of lower extremity lymphedema and associated impairments in the severely overweight.
