Foam plus laser for varicose veins
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if adding a laser to a foam treatment (polidocanol) works better for varicose veins than the foam alone. It may help people with small to medium varicose veins that are close to the skin.

This trial tests different types of laser energy to treat varicose veins. It looks at which wavelength works best for closing the faulty vein and preventing the disease from getting worse.
This study tests a new laser treatment that uses a small vacuum to remove large varicose veins in the legs. It may help people with big, uncomfortable veins that other treatments might not work as well for.
This study compares two treatments for small, visible leg veins (spider veins and slightly larger blue or green veins). It tests whether using a laser along with foam sclerotherapy (a medicine injected into the veins) works better than foam alone.
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 looks at how well laser treatment works for varicose veins and how satisfied patients are with it. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people with common or recurring varicose veins.
