Calcium dobesilate after varicose vein treatment
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a medicine called calcium dobesilate after a procedure to close off varicose veins helps improve recovery and reduce symptoms like pain and swelling. It may be an option for people with symptomatic varicose veins who are planning to have this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have symptomatic varicose veins (CEAP class C2-C4), meaning you have visible veins with symptoms like aching or swelling but no open sores.
- Ultrasound has confirmed that the main vein in your leg (great saphenous vein) has faulty valves and is 5-12 mm wide.
- You are scheduled to have radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based procedure to close the vein).
- You do not have a history of blood clots, peripheral artery disease, or active leg ulcers.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have not taken other vein medicines in the last 4 weeks.

This study looks at whether taking blood thinners (antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs) affects bleeding and vein closure after a minimally invasive procedure for varicose veins. It may help doctors understand if it's safe to continue these medications during treatment.
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 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.
