NCT ID NCT07390097
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking calcium dobesilate before and after radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins can reduce pain and improve quality of life. 250 adults with symptomatic varicose veins will be randomly assigned to receive the drug or standard care. The main goal is to measure pain levels one week after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
calcium dobesilate
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple pill to ease pain and speed up recovery after varicose vein treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 4 trial, but it's still early and small. The drug may not reduce pain more than standard care, and side effects like stomach upset are possible.
