This study tests two injected solutions (a foam and a glucose solution) to see how well they shrink spider veins on the thigh. It may help people who want to reduce the appearance of these small veins and improve leg comfort.
This study compares two treatments for small, visible leg veins (spider veins and slightly larger blue or green veins). It tests whether using a laser along with foam sclerotherapy (a medicine injected into the veins) works better than foam alone.
This trial compares two types of laser treatments combined with injection therapy for small leg veins (spider veins and reticular veins). It aims to find which approach works better for cosmetic improvement.
This study tests if adding a laser to a foam treatment (polidocanol) works better for varicose veins than the foam alone. It may help people with small to medium varicose veins that are close to the skin.
This study tests a new laser treatment that uses a small vacuum to remove large varicose veins in the legs. It may help people with big, uncomfortable veins that other treatments might not work as well for.
This study compares two types of sclerotherapy – a treatment that injects a solution into spider veins to make them fade. One solution contains a numbing medication (lidocaine) and another that constricts blood vessels (epinephrine); the other has only the numbing medication. The goal is to see if adding the epinephrine helps reduce pain and improve results. You will be randomly assigned to receive both treatments, one on each leg, to compare them directly.
