NCT ID NCT07570277
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a specially designed nursing program for people recovering from varicose vein surgery. The program focuses on teaching patients how to manage their own recovery, including daily activities and medical care. Researchers will measure whether this approach improves self-management skills, confidence, and quality of life compared to standard nursing care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nursing intervention based on ITHBC theory
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help patients better manage their recovery after varicose vein surgery, reducing complications and improving daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (104 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The program's benefits depend on patient adherence and may not lead to major medical breakthroughs.
