Pelvic floor and vein health connection study
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how pelvic floor muscles relate to leg vein problems (venous insufficiency). You may benefit if you have vein issues and are willing to try telerehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with vein problems in your legs using a Doppler ultrasound.
- You have symptoms like leg pain, swelling, or heaviness.
- You are not currently taking any medication or having surgery for varicose veins.
- You have not had varicose vein surgery before.
- You are willing to do the study at home with internet access and a device for video calls.
- You do not have a history of pelvic floor muscle tightness or chronic pelvic pain.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a structured home-based exercise and education program for people with chronic venous insufficiency – a condition where veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart. If you qualify, you would do the program for 12 weeks to see if it helps improve your symptoms.
This study tests whether adding a special physiotherapy program can help reduce leg swelling in people with vein disease. If you have swelling from varicose veins or other vein problems and have not tried certain treatments before, you may be able to join.
This trial tests an investigational device called the enVVe System to treat leg symptoms caused by damaged vein valves deep in the leg. If you have persistent leg pain, swelling, or skin changes despite using compression stockings, this study might help you. The device is placed into the vein to improve blood flow back to the heart.
This study looks at how blood flows from the legs in people with varicose veins in the pelvis. It may help doctors understand the link between pelvic and leg vein problems.
This study tests whether an implanted “vein valve” system can improve blood flow in people with painful chronic venous valve leakage in the thigh/knee veins. It also checks if the procedure and follow-up are safe and workable, especially with blood-thinner medicines before and after.
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.
