Pelvic vein treatment: foam plus glue vs foam plus coils
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two different methods for treating chronic pelvic pain caused by pelvic vein disorders. One method uses foam plus a medical glue, the other uses foam plus tiny metal coils. The goal is to find which approach works better.

This trial tests if blocking enlarged veins in the pelvis (called embolization) can reduce long-term pelvic pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help women whose pain is worse when standing or walking and better when lying down.
This study looks at how much pelvic pain improves after a procedure called gonadal vein embolization (blocking problem veins). It mainly applies to people diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome caused by venous (vein) problems, treated during a specific time window.
This trial compares a new glue injection treatment (embolization) with no active treatment for pelvic congestion syndrome. It aims to see if the glue procedure reduces pelvic pain and varicose veins better than just monitoring symptoms.
This trial tests a procedure to block off faulty veins in the pelvis to treat chronic pelvic pain that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It is for women whose pain is caused by compressed or blocked veins in the iliac area.
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure that blocks abnormal veins in the pelvis to relieve long-term pelvic pain. It may help women with pelvic congestion syndrome.
This trial compares a needle-based procedure (electrocoagulation) with a foam injection (sclerosing foam) to treat faulty veins in the legs that cause skin damage or ulcers. It aims to find which method works better for people with moderate to severe vein disease.
