NCT ID NCT07276243
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a laser to standard foam treatment works better for varicose veins. About 102 adults with small-to-medium leg veins will get either foam alone or foam plus a laser. The main goal is to see if the vein closes up more often after 30 days, with fewer side effects like skin darkening.
