Glue injection vs watchful waiting for pelvic congestion syndrome
Part of 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.

The study is testing a procedure to block off abnormal veins in the pelvis that are causing long-term pelvic pain. This may help reduce pain and other symptoms for women with pelvic congestion syndrome that hasn't improved with other treatments.
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 two minimally invasive treatments—using a special glue versus tiny beads—to block arteries and shrink an enlarged prostate. It aims to improve urine flow and reduce symptoms without surgery.
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.
