Koya Medical (“Koya”), a medical technology company advancing evidence-based therapies for vascular disease, today announced their selection for a poster presentation of the NILE Trial at the upcoming Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) conference being held March 21-24, 2023, in San Antonio, Texas. The poster, “Final-analysis (NILE) - A randomized control cross-over clinical study comparing a novel wearable compression technology (non-pneumatic compression device, NPCD) to pneumatic compression device (advanced pneumatic compression device, APCD) in the treatment of lymphedema”, received gold ribbon status after a rigorous 2-tier peer-review process by independent reviewers and subsequent review by a Journal of Managed Care and Specialty Pharmacy editor.
Summary of Key Results:
- The Dayspring device was found to be more effective than an APCD.
- Participants experienced significantly greater mean reduction in edema (swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's tissues) volume (64.6% vs. 27.7%; p<0.05) with the Dayspring device versus an APCD.
- Significantly greater adherence (95.6% vs. 49.8%), and greater satisfaction (90% vs. 14%) with the Dayspring device versus an APCD.
About Lymphedema & Venous Disease
An estimated 20 million Americans live with lymphedema, a progressive, incurable condition where a buildup of protein rich fluid causes painful swelling in the arm, leg, and/or other regions of the body. For most, lymphedema requires lifelong maintenance and various levels of therapy to control swelling and pain. Lymphedema can result from a variety of factors, including cancer, infection, chronic venous disease, and surgery.
About Dayspring®
Dayspring is a prescription, non-pneumatic compression system designed to deliver customizable active compression while allowing patients to remain mobile during treatment.
Dayspring is the only non-pneumatic compression therapy supported by published randomized head-to-head comparative evidence demonstrating superior limb volume reduction, disease-specific quality of life, treatment adherence and patient preference versus an advanced pneumatic compression device.
Dayspring is FDA-cleared for the treatment of lymphedema, phlebolymphedema, venous insufficiency and other chronic edema-related conditions affecting the upper and lower extremities.
