This study tests if extra education helps people with venous leg ulcers take better care of their condition. It might make healing easier and prevent future problems.
This trial tests a smart compression bandage that uses sensors to help heal venous leg ulcers. It may help people whose ulcers have not healed with standard compression therapy.
This study looks at how patients who have had vein surgery learn about anti-embolic stockings (special tight stockings that help prevent blood clots). It may help improve how information is given to patients after surgery.
This study compares two types of compression bandages to see if one is as good as the other for treating venous leg ulcers. If you have a leg ulcer that has not healed, this trial may help improve your treatment.
This study tests a structured home-based exercise and education program for people with chronic venous insufficiency – a condition where veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart. If you qualify, you would do the program for 12 weeks to see if it helps improve your symptoms.
This study looks at people with a healing or healing-worsening leg ulcer caused by weak veins (venous reflux). It may help improve care for this common type of ulcer and reduce time to healing by testing an approach for venous ulcers.
