Longer compression may prevent dark spots after varicose vein treatment
NCT ID NCT06766968
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether wearing compression stockings for a longer time after foam sclerotherapy (a treatment for varicose veins) can reduce skin darkening (hyperpigmentation) above the treated veins. About 140 adults with varicose veins will be followed for 28 days after their procedure. The main goal is to see how many people develop dark spots and how severe they are.
