A trial on a less invasive varicose vein treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a technique called TEThA to treat varicose veins and see how it affects quality of life and recovery after surgery. It might be an option if you have visible or more serious varicose veins with backward blood flow in the main leg veins.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have varicose veins larger than 2mm in diameter
- You also have backward blood flow (reflux) in either the great or small saphenous vein in your leg
- Your varicose veins are classified as C2 to C6 (meaning they are visible, may have swelling, skin changes, or even open sores)
- You are 18 years or older
- You do not have a current or past blood clot in a vein (like thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis)

This trial tests whether a 1940 nm or a 1470 nm laser works better for treating varicose veins in the legs. It may help you find a more effective option to reduce vein problems like swelling, heaviness, and visible bulges.
This trial tests different types of laser energy to treat varicose veins. It looks at which wavelength works best for closing the faulty vein and preventing the disease from getting worse.
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 trial tests whether foam sclerotherapy or a small-surgery treatment (ambulatory phlebectomy) works better for symptoms from leaking varicose veins. It may help by improving which option is most effective and comfortable for people like you.
This study looks at how well and safely a laser procedure works to treat problematic veins in the legs (varicose veins). Researchers will ask you about your satisfaction with the treatment and monitor your recovery.
This study collects information about people who have varicose veins with abnormal backflow in the leg veins. It’s meant to track how treatments for chronic venous problems are working over time, which can help improve care for others in the future.
