NCT01833156

Brief Summary

In lymphedema there is increase in water content of the tissue. We studied a device (MoistureMeterD) which is suitable to detect water contact in the tissue. Although the apparatus is commercially available, no validation study had been performed in vivo with local edema. We designed a validation study for inter- and intra observer variability and the reproducibility in vivo by histamin induced local edema

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • amount of edema formation measured with a moisturemeterD of histamin reaction

    At various moments and regions around the scratch location the dielectric constant values of the skin is measured in all patients. we try to see if there is a reproducibility of edema with a standardized edema formation method.

    october 2013

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • validation of a Moisturemeter device for inter- and intra observer variability

    october 2013

Study Arms (1)

patient with local edema by histamin

EXPERIMENTAL

Measuring at 3 locations (on the histmin spot, at 5 cm and 10 cm border (is the control) at 7 times: T0 - T10 minutes - T20 - T30 - T45 - T60 - T75

Device: MoistureMeterD

Interventions

measuring erythema size and the dielectric constant values
