Phone thermal imaging for leg vein assessment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a mobile phone thermal imaging camera can identify faulty leg veins (called incompetent perforator veins) in people with chronic venous disease. It may replace more invasive diagnostic methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with chronic venous disease (CVD) by a vascular surgeon, ranging from no visible signs (C0) to active ulcers (C6).
- You have never had surgery on your legs.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 35.
- You do not have deep vein thrombosis, heart disease, peripheral artery disease, chronic liver or kidney disease, or pregnancy.
- Your BMI is not 35 or higher (severe obesity).

This study tests whether adding a special physiotherapy program can help reduce leg swelling in people with vein disease. If you have swelling from varicose veins or other vein problems and have not tried certain treatments before, you may be able to join.
This study looks at different treatments for chronic venous disease (CVD), a condition where veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart. Researchers want to see which treatments work best over time.
This study tests if using a smartphone app or tablet helps doctors and patients work together to prevent or manage blood clots in the legs or lungs. It is for adults in the hospital who have or are at high risk of a blood clot.
This trial tests a new pressure-monitoring technology that works with your smartphone to help improve compression therapy for venous leg ulcers. If you are already getting compression therapy for your leg ulcer, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new camera that uses light to check blood flow in your legs. It compares the camera's results to standard tests like ABI and Doppler ultrasound to see if it works as well.
This study tests a new, non-invasive skin sensor that uses electrical currents to see how well clot-busting medication is working in people with deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the leg). The goal is to make monitoring easier and more comfortable.
