Injections for thigh spider veins
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests two injected solutions (a foam and a glucose solution) to see how well they shrink spider veins on the thigh. It may help people who want to reduce the appearance of these small veins and improve leg comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have only spider veins (small, thin veins just under the skin) on your thigh — no larger ropey veins.
- The area to be treated must be no larger than 20 by 20 centimeters (about 8 by 8 inches) on your thigh.
- You cannot have had sclerotherapy (vein injection treatment) in that exact area before.

This study compares two treatments for small leg veins (reticular veins): a laser treatment and a sclerotherapy injection. It aims to see which works better for women.
This study compares two ways to treat varicose veins: doing a heat-based treatment (radiofrequency ablation) on the main thigh vein at the same time as treating the smaller branch veins, or treating the branch veins later. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer for people with mild to moderate varicose veins.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to treat enlarged great saphenous veins (a vein in your thigh that can cause swelling, pain, or skin changes). Both procedures seal off the problematic vein by either using heat and mechanical motion or injecting a foaming substance.
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.
This trial compares two types of laser treatments combined with injection therapy for small leg veins (spider veins and reticular veins). It aims to find which approach works better for cosmetic improvement.
This study compares two types of sclerotherapy – a treatment that injects a solution into spider veins to make them fade. One solution contains a numbing medication (lidocaine) and another that constricts blood vessels (epinephrine); the other has only the numbing medication. The goal is to see if adding the epinephrine helps reduce pain and improve results. You will be randomly assigned to receive both treatments, one on each leg, to compare them directly.
