“…Study characteristics. The search strategy and study selection process identified eight controlled trials [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] of HPILC for the treatment of intermittent claudication (Fig). These studies included a total of 290 patients with intermittent claudication, with 172 (59.3%) composing the treatment group and 118 (40.7%) the control group.…”

Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) is designed to aid wound healing and limb salvage for patients with critical limb ischaemia who are not candidates for revascularisation. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify and critically appraise the evidence supporting its use in this population. A search was conducted in Embase, MEDLINE and clinical trial registries up to the end of March 2013. No date or language restrictions were applied. Quality assessment was performed by two people independently. Quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the NICE case-series assessment tool. Two controlled before-and-after (CBA) studies and six case series were identified. One retrospective CBA study involving compression of the calf reported improved limb salvage and wound healing (OR 7.00, 95% CI 1.82 to 26.89, p<0.01). One prospective CBA study involving sequential compression of the foot and calf reported statistically significant improvements in claudication distances and SF-36 quality of life scores. No difference in all-cause mortality was found. Complications included pain associated with compression, as well as skin abrasion and contact rash as a result of the cuff rubbing against the skin. All studies had a high risk of bias. In conclusion, the limited available results suggest that IPC may be associated with improved limb salvage, wound healing and pain management. However, in the absence of additional well-designed analytical studies examining the effect of IPC in critical limb ischaemia, this treatment remains unproven.

“…The study results indicated that this treatment regimen not only reduces leg volume and capillary fragility, but also improves pain intensity in patients with lipedema. Also, Taiwan researchers [17] included in their study thirty-one patients with infrapopliteal diffuse or multiple segmental lesions. Based on receipt of intermittent pneumatic therapy (3 hours daily for 3 months), patients were allocated to a study (n = 23) or control (n = 8) groups.…”

SummaryIntroduction: The primary lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency are important medical problems in women during menopause. Intermittent pneumatic compression has been accepted as a supplemental therapy for many years. However, due to the diversity of the clinical view of venous lymphedema and difficulties in the diagnosis, there is still no uniform and fully reliable treatment algorithm and international consensus.Aim of the study: To compare the efficacy of pneumatic compression of various pressure for the treatment of lower extremity venous lymphedema in menopausal patients.Material and methods: The study included 33 patients with chronic venous insufficiency and bilateral primary lymphedema of the lower limbs. Group A consisted of 10 patients aged from 46 to 56 years (mean age 51.2 years) who had used monthly therapy, treatments consisting of manual lymphatic drainage, multi-layer bandaging and intermittent pneumatic compression with a pressure of 120 mm Hg. Group B consisted of 10 patients aged from 45 to 58 years (mean age 53.3 years) who had identical basic treatment as group A, and intermittent pneumatic compression with a pressure of 60 mm Hg. Group C (control) consisted of 13 patients aged from 44 to 57 years (mean age 52.8 years) who were using only primary treatment without intermittent pneumatic compression.Results: It was found out that the greatest reduction in edema in patients undergoing compression settings with a pressure of 120 mm Hg. Comparison of the percentage reduction in edema showed a statistically significant advantage for group A to groups B and C, both for changes in the right (p = 0.01) and left limb (p = 0.01). Results in patients undergoing intermittent pneumatic compression with a lower pressure (60 mm Hg) were similar to those obtained in the control group.Conclusions: Intermittent pneumatic compression with a pressure of 120 mm Hg significantly helps to reduce the venous lymphedema in patients with menopause. It appears that the procedures with a pressure of 60 mm Hg are ineffective.
