Glue injection vs watchful waiting for pelvic congestion syndrome
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares a new glue injection treatment (embolization) with no active treatment for pelvic congestion syndrome. It aims to see if the glue procedure reduces pelvic pain and varicose veins better than just monitoring symptoms.

This trial tests a procedure to block off faulty veins in the pelvis to treat chronic pelvic pain that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It is for women whose pain is caused by compressed or blocked veins in the iliac area.
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure that blocks abnormal veins in the pelvis to relieve long-term pelvic pain. It may help women with pelvic congestion syndrome.
This trial compares two different methods for treating chronic pelvic pain caused by pelvic vein disorders. One method uses foam plus a medical glue, the other uses foam plus tiny metal coils. The goal is to find which approach works better.
This trial compares using medical glue versus tiny beads to block blood flow to the prostate, which can shrink it and improve urine flow. It is for men whose enlarged prostate symptoms have not improved with medication.
This study looks at how much pelvic pain improves after a procedure called gonadal vein embolization (blocking problem veins). It mainly applies to people diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome caused by venous (vein) problems, treated during a specific time window.
This trial tests if blocking enlarged veins in the pelvis (called embolization) can reduce long-term pelvic pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help women whose pain is worse when standing or walking and better when lying down.
