This study aims to investigate the presence of central sensitization and its associated parameters in patients with lipedema. Lipedema is a chronic and hereditary condition that primarily affects the lower extremities in women and is often associated with hormonal changes. Symptoms such as pain, swelling, and tenderness are common in lipedema, and these symptoms may be related to central sensitization. Additionally, the ultrasonographic findings and pain sensitivity in lipedema will be compared with those of healthy individuals. This study seeks to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment process of lipedema.
