Vein blocking for pelvic pain from pelvic congestion
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
The study is testing a procedure to block off abnormal veins in the pelvis that are causing long-term pelvic pain. This may help reduce pain and other symptoms for women with pelvic congestion syndrome that hasn't improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have had pelvic pain for more than 6 months that hasn't improved with standard treatments like pain medication or physical therapy.
- Your pain gets worse when you stand, and you may have pain during sex, a heavy feeling in the pelvis, or visible varicose veins in the vulvar or thigh area.
- A scan (such as CT or MRI) has shown a narrowed or blocked vein in your pelvis that is causing the pain.
- You are willing to have a procedure called embolization (blocking off abnormal veins) and attend follow-up visits.

This study tests a minimally invasive procedure that blocks abnormal veins in the pelvis to relieve long-term pelvic pain. It may help women with pelvic congestion syndrome.
This trial compares a new glue injection treatment (embolization) with no active treatment for pelvic congestion syndrome. It aims to see if the glue procedure reduces pelvic pain and varicose veins better than just monitoring symptoms.
This trial tests if blocking enlarged veins in the pelvis (called embolization) can reduce long-term pelvic pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help women whose pain is worse when standing or walking and better when lying down.
This study looks at how much pelvic pain improves after a procedure called gonadal vein embolization (blocking problem veins). It mainly applies to people diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome caused by venous (vein) problems, treated during a specific time window.
This trial compares two different methods for treating chronic pelvic pain caused by pelvic vein disorders. One method uses foam plus a medical glue, the other uses foam plus tiny metal coils. The goal is to find which approach works better.
This trial tests a venoactive drug (a medication that improves vein tone and blood flow) to see if it relieves symptoms like pelvic pain, pain during sex, and discomfort in the lower belly caused by pelvic varicose veins (enlarged veins). It may help people who have these symptoms confirmed by ultrasound.
