Venous insufficiency

This study tests whether shining a special low-level laser on chronic leg ulcers can help them heal faster. 96 adults with venous leg ulcers will receive either real laser treatment plus standard compression, or a sham laser plus compression, twice a week for 16 weeks. The goal i…

This Phase 2 study tests whether weekly injections of MTX-001, a substance made from human amniotic fluid, can help heal venous stasis ulcers that haven't improved after at least 4 weeks of standard care. About 80 adults aged 18 to 90 with non-infected leg ulcers will receive eit…

This trial compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating incompetent perforating veins—veins that fail to close properly and can cause leg swelling, skin changes, or ulcers. One method uses a needle to deliver an electric current to seal the vein, while the other inject…

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a gel called TR987, applied to the skin, can help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by poor blood flow. About 312 adults with venous leg ulcers will receive either the gel plus standard wound care or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if th…

This study tests whether using a simple urine test to guide the dose of a water pill (furosemide) can safely and effectively remove excess fluid after heart surgery. About 102 adults having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine will be randomly assigned to either standard care …

This study tests whether a 3-week thermal spa treatment at the Saint-Eloy center can relieve symptoms of severe chronic venous insufficiency (a condition where leg veins have trouble sending blood back to the heart). About 84 adults with severe vein disease will receive either th…

This study tests whether using virtual reality during varicose vein surgery can reduce pain and anxiety enough to avoid standard sedation. About 400 adults will either receive virtual reality or standard medication. The goal is to see if VR can make the procedure more comfortable…

This study looks at whether vein problems are linked to pain, swelling, and daily function in women with lipedema. Researchers will use ultrasound to check leg veins and ask participants about their symptoms. The goal is to better understand how these conditions interact, which c…

This study looks at two ways to teach medical residents how to use a special ultrasound technique (VExUS) to check for fluid overload in patients with acute heart failure. About 23 residents will be trained either in-person or remotely, and their ultrasound skills will be compare…

The European Venous Registry (EVeR) is collecting data from 100 patients with deep vein disease in the legs to track how different treatments work over 10 years. Researchers will measure symptoms and quality of life to find out which approaches are most effective. This is an obse…
