Home exercise and education for chronic venous insufficiency
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have been diagnosed by a doctor with chronic venous insufficiency.
- Your vein condition must be at a stage that is not severe (no open or healed leg ulcers).
- You must be able to walk on your own.
- You must not have had leg surgery in the last 3 months.
- You must not be pregnant, and you must not have other leg swelling not related to veins.

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 people with darker skin tones experience chronic venous insufficiency (a condition that affects blood flow in the legs) and aims to improve how it's diagnosed and treated. It involves two parts: one is sharing your experience through an interview, and the other includes a skin check and photos at the hospital.
This study tests whether a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (using heat to close faulty veins) is safe and effective for people aged 80+ with chronic venous insufficiency. It aims to relieve symptoms like leg swelling, skin changes, or ulcers.
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.
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 study tests a new tablet (called Heparan Sulfate) to see if it can improve symptoms and signs of chronic venous disease, a condition where leg veins have trouble sending blood back to the heart. It is a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, meaning some participants will receive the study tablet and some will receive a placebo (a tablet with no active medication).
