Comparing two treatments for varicose veins in the lower legs
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
