Lymphoedema is a life-long condition causing long-term swelling affecting people physically, mentally and socially. Daily self-management covers four main areas (skin care, activity / movement, compression and massage / light touch). Intensive clinic-based treatments are available alongside usual care, including intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC). Recent studies have explored the feasibility, acceptability and impact of home-based IPC. This study will further our understanding of home-based IPC in a Value-Based procurement study.
