Comparing treatments for chronic vein disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at different treatments for chronic venous disease (CVD), a condition where veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart. Researchers want to see which treatments work best over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have leg complaints related to chronic venous disease, like swelling, aching, or varicose veins.
- Your doctor diagnosed you with chronic venous disease based on a physical exam.
- You are willing and able to receive either non-surgical or surgical treatment.
- You speak French or Dutch.
- You are not taking regular vein disease treatments (other than pain relievers for other reasons) in the last 3 months.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, are not pregnant, do not have severe leg artery disease (ABI less than 0.8), are not on blood thinners, and do not have cancer, dementia, or other conditions that would prevent 2-year follow-up.

This study tests whether adding a special physiotherapy program can help reduce leg swelling in people with vein disease. If you have swelling from varicose veins or other vein problems and have not tried certain treatments before, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (using heat to close faulty veins) is safe and effective for people aged 80+ with chronic venous insufficiency. It aims to relieve symptoms like leg swelling, skin changes, or ulcers.
This trial compares two types of catheters (Xianrui Da and Medtronic) used in a minimally invasive procedure called radiofrequency ablation to treat varicose veins. The study looks at how well each works, how safe they are, and which is more cost-effective for patients with moderate to advanced varicose veins.
This study tests whether treating nearby varicose veins at the same time as the main vein is as safe and effective as treating them in a separate procedure later. It aims to reduce the number of treatments you might need.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments (radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation) for varicose veins in the small saphenous vein. If your varicose veins cause symptoms like pain, swelling, or heaviness, this trial may help determine which treatment works better.
This trial compares a needle-based procedure (electrocoagulation) with a foam injection (sclerosing foam) to treat faulty veins in the legs that cause skin damage or ulcers. It aims to find which method works better for people with moderate to severe vein disease.
