Treating Pelvic Pain with Vein Blockage
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a woman 18 years or older
- Have had pelvic pain for more than 6 months
- Have imaging (e.g., ultrasound or CT) that shows pelvic congestion syndrome
- Be willing to undergo the vein-blocking procedure
- Not be pregnant, and have no other known cause for the pelvic pain (like endometriosis or fibroids)

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.
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 study tests a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicocele, which is an enlargement of veins in the scrotum that can cause pain or affect fertility. The procedure blocks the abnormal veins to improve symptoms and potentially fertility.
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.
