Laser treatment for varicose veins with different wavelengths
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have varicose veins that cause symptoms like pain, swelling, or skin changes (C2 to C6 on the clinical scale).
- The main vein in your thigh (great saphenous vein) has blood flowing backward for more than half a second.
- The diameter of that faulty vein is 12 millimeters or less.

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.
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 is testing a technique called TEThA to treat varicose veins and see how it affects quality of life and recovery after surgery. It might be an option if you have visible or more serious varicose veins with backward blood flow in the main leg veins.
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 whether foam sclerotherapy or a small-surgery treatment (ambulatory phlebectomy) works better for symptoms from leaking varicose veins. It may help by improving which option is most effective and comfortable for people like you.
This trial studies how to best time two treatments—endovenous laser (laser therapy) and sclerotherapy (a medicine injected into the vein)—to treat varicose veins in the leg. It may help you get symptom relief more effectively by finding the optimal treatment schedule.
