A new numbing catheter for easier varicose vein treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, softer catheter (called Solutio) that delivers numbing fluid during a standard heat treatment for varicose veins. It may make the procedure more comfortable and is being tested in healthy adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with venous insufficiency in the great saphenous vein (the main vein in your thigh) that has not spread to the lower part of your leg.
- You are already scheduled for a heat-based vein treatment (called endothermal ablation) on one leg.
- You agree to have the heat treatment without any sedation (you will be awake and comfortable, but not asleep).
- You are not on blood-thinning medications and do not have bleeding disorders.

This trial tests whether a 1940 nm or a 1470 nm laser works better for treating varicose veins in the legs. It may help you find a more effective option to reduce vein problems like swelling, heaviness, and visible bulges.
This study compares two ways to treat varicose veins: doing a heat-based treatment (radiofrequency ablation) on the main thigh vein at the same time as treating the smaller branch veins, or treating the branch veins later. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer for people with mild to moderate varicose veins.
This study compares two different catheters used in a procedure called radiofrequency ablation to treat varicose veins. The goal is to see which catheter works better, is safer, and is more cost-effective.
This study tests a new laser treatment that uses a small vacuum to remove large varicose veins in the legs. It may help people with big, uncomfortable veins that other treatments might not work as well for.
This study tests a new treatment that uses sound waves to close off varicose veins in the legs, without surgery. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate varicose veins who are looking for a less invasive treatment.
This trial compares a needle-based procedure (electrocoagulation) with a foam injection (sclerosing foam) to treat faulty veins in the legs that cause skin damage or ulcers. It aims to find which method works better for people with moderate to severe vein disease.
