NCT ID NCT01558024
First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looked at how compression stockings of different strengths change the pressure on the leg and the size of veins in people with chronic venous insufficiency. Researchers measured vein diameter and leg pressure in 111 participants (patients and healthy volunteers) while lying, sitting, and standing. The goal was to better understand how compression therapy works, not to test a new treatment.
