Treating leg varicose veins to help knee pain in adults 80 and older
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 80 years or older.
- You have varicose veins in your legs, confirmed by an ultrasound showing blood flow issues.
- You have had knee pain for at least 4 weeks and rate it as 3 or higher on a 0–10 scale.
- You are planning to have a minimally invasive vein treatment (like radiofrequency or laser).
- You have not had previous vein surgery or ablation on the same leg, and you have no recent major knee surgery, injury, or arthritis that could explain the pain.

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.
This study tests whether a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (using heat to close faulty veins) is safe and effective for people aged 80+ with chronic venous insufficiency. It aims to relieve symptoms like leg swelling, skin changes, or ulcers.
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 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 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 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.
