Treating spider veins with foam or glucose
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments—a special foam and a concentrated glucose solution—for spider veins on the lower thigh. It aims to find which works better and is safer for people with this specific vein type.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether treating nearby varicose veins at the same time as the main vein is as safe and effective as treating them in a separate procedure later. It aims to reduce the number of treatments you might need.
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 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 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 treatments for small leg veins (spider veins and reticular veins) on the thighs. It tests whether adding a laser to a foam injection works better than the foam alone.
