Ruscus study for symptom relief in chronic vein problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a natural plant extract called Ruscus to see if it helps control symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where leg veins have trouble moving blood back to the heart. It is for people who are already starting this treatment as part of their regular care.
