Varicose vein study: is it better to treat branch veins now or later?
NCT ID NCT07445425
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the best way to treat varicose veins in the legs. It compares doing everything in one procedure versus treating the main vein first and the branch veins later. About 206 people will take part, and researchers will track how many need repeat treatment, costs, and symptom relief over six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
radiofrequency ablation with or without foam sclerosing agent therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that treating branch veins later is just as effective, reducing unnecessary procedures and costs.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 206 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is also a risk that staged treatment leads to more re-interventions.
