Pelvic vein embolization for secondary pelvic congestion syndrome
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure to block off faulty veins in the pelvis to treat chronic pelvic pain that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It is for women whose pain is caused by compressed or blocked veins in the iliac area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 to 60.
- You have had pelvic pain for at least 6 months that gets worse when standing and hasn't improved with standard pain treatments.
- Imaging tests have shown that your pelvic pain is due to blocked or narrowed iliac veins with backward blood flow in nearby veins.
- A team of doctors has ruled out other causes of your pelvic pain, like endometriosis or fibroids.
- You are not pregnant, do not have an active infection, and do not have any condition that would make the procedure unsafe.

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 study looks at how pain and other symptoms relate to a condition called pelvic congestion syndrome, which happens when veins in the pelvis become enlarged. It may help doctors better understand and treat this cause of long-term pelvic pain.
