Knee pain relief after varicose vein treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at whether treating varicose veins with a minimally invasive procedure can also help relieve knee pain. You will receive your planned varicose vein treatment, and researchers will track your knee pain over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have varicose veins in your legs and a test (duplex ultrasound) shows blood flowing backward in the veins.
- You have had knee pain for at least 4 weeks, and your pain score is 3 or higher on a 0–10 scale.
- You are scheduled to have a standard treatment for varicose veins, such as radiofrequency or laser ablation.
- You have not had varicose vein treatment in the same leg before, and you have no recent knee surgery or certain joint conditions.

This study looks at whether treating varicose veins in the legs can also help reduce knee pain in older adults (80+). If you have both varicose veins and knee pain, this treatment may offer relief.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments (radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation) for varicose veins in the small saphenous vein. If your varicose veins cause symptoms like pain, swelling, or heaviness, this trial may help determine which treatment works better.
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 looks at how much pain people feel during a microwave treatment for varicose veins in the leg. It aims to understand what factors affect pain, so the treatment can be more comfortable for future patients.
This study compares two different catheters used in a procedure called radiofrequency ablation to treat varicose veins. The goal is to see which catheter works better, is safer, and is more cost-effective.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality mindfulness exercise before and during minimally invasive varicose vein surgery can reduce pain and anxiety. It may help you feel more relaxed during the procedure.
