Glycerin with lidocaine for leg spider veins: epinephrine test
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding epinephrine to a standard numbing medicine (lidocaine) improves the treatment of small leg spider veins with a solution called glycerin. It aims to find a safer, more effective way to reduce these veins.
