Comparing two sclerotherapy solutions for leg spider veins with numbing medication
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two types of sclerotherapy – a treatment that injects a solution into spider veins to make them fade. One solution contains a numbing medication (lidocaine) and another that constricts blood vessels (epinephrine); the other has only the numbing medication. The goal is to see if adding the epinephrine helps reduce pain and improve results. You will be randomly assigned to receive both treatments, one on each leg, to compare them directly.

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.
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 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 (reticular veins): a laser treatment and a sclerotherapy injection. It aims to see which works better for women.
This study tests two injected solutions (a foam and a glucose solution) to see how well they shrink spider veins on the thigh. It may help people who want to reduce the appearance of these small veins and improve leg comfort.
This trial tests whether a 1940 nm or a 1470 nm laser works better for treating varicose veins in the legs. It may help you find a more effective option to reduce vein problems like swelling, heaviness, and visible bulges.
