Could aspirin ease pain in kids with rare vein condition?
NCT ID NCT07663825
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding aspirin to a standard anti-inflammatory gel can reduce pain from blood clots in children aged 6 to 17 with superficial venous malformations. The trial will compare aspirin plus gel against a placebo plus gel over 14 days. Only 34 children will take part, making this a small, early investigation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) plus diclofenac gel
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a standard way to manage painful clotting episodes in children with vein malformations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 34 children. It may not show a clear benefit, and aspirin carries risks like stomach upset or bleeding.
