Laser and foam treatment for spider and reticular leg veins
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for small, visible leg veins (spider veins and slightly larger blue or green veins). It tests whether using a laser along with foam sclerotherapy (a medicine injected into the veins) works better than foam alone.

This trial compares two types of laser treatments combined with injection therapy for small leg veins (spider veins and reticular veins). It aims to find which approach works better for cosmetic improvement.
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 compares different treatments for chronic venous disease (a condition where leg veins don't work properly, causing pain, swelling, and varicose veins). It aims to see which treatments work best, so you might get access to a range of options under careful medical supervision.
This study tests if adding a laser to a foam treatment (polidocanol) works better for varicose veins than the foam alone. It may help people with small to medium varicose veins that are close to the skin.
This study compares two treatments for small leg veins (reticular veins): a laser treatment and a sclerotherapy injection. It aims to see which works better for women.
This study compares two types of sclerotherapy – a treatment that injects a solution into spider veins to make them fade. One solution contains a numbing medication (lidocaine) and another that constricts blood vessels (epinephrine); the other has only the numbing medication. The goal is to see if adding the epinephrine helps reduce pain and improve results. You will be randomly assigned to receive both treatments, one on each leg, to compare them directly.
