Sound waves for varicose veins in the legs
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 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 minimally invasive treatments (radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation) for varicose veins in the small saphenous vein. If your varicose veins cause symptoms like pain, swelling, or heaviness, this trial may help determine which treatment works better.
This study looks at people with a healing or healing-worsening leg ulcer caused by weak veins (venous reflux). It may help improve care for this common type of ulcer and reduce time to healing by testing an approach for venous ulcers.
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.
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 looks at how well laser treatment works for varicose veins and how satisfied patients are with it. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people with common or recurring varicose veins.
