Using a phone camera to spot faulty leg veins
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a phone's thermal (heat-sensing) camera can help doctors find vein problems in the legs. If successful, this could offer a faster, easier way to check for chronic venous disease (CVD) without invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of chronic venous disease (CVD), meaning your leg veins don't work properly
- Your condition is rated C0 to C6 on the CEAP scale (a doctor can tell you your rating)
- You have not had any surgery on your legs before
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 35 (ask your doctor if unsure)
- You do not have certain other health problems, such as heart disease, blood clots, or kidney disease

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 tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help heal leg ulcers caused by weak veins. If you have a non-infected venous leg ulcer that's been present for at least 6 weeks, this treatment might speed up healing.
This study compares different treatments for chronic venous disease (a condition where leg veins don't work properly, causing pain, swelling, and varicose veins). It aims to see which treatments work best, so you might get access to a range of options under careful medical supervision.
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 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 uses a special camera to take pictures of your leg veins at different times to find the best moment for imaging. It may help improve how varicose veins are diagnosed.
