10,000 people enrolled to uncover how vein disease silently progresses
NCT ID NCT04487314
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This registry follows 10,000 people with early varicose veins to see how chronic venous disease develops and worsens over time. Researchers will track signs like spider veins, swelling, skin changes, and blood clots using yearly checkups and ultrasound scans. The goal is to better understand risk factors and the natural course of the disease, which could improve prevention and treatment strategies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could reveal key risk factors and patterns that help doctors predict and manage chronic venous disease more effectively.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new therapy, and results may take years to produce actionable insights.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The main cohort is formed from those who do not have CVD, who are affected by different factors that we register (various physical activities, the presence or absence of pregnancy, etc.). An additional cohort is formed from those who have CVD at the time of inclusion. The goal is to track the natural evolution (progression) of the disease, to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of complications. An extremely important criterion for the formation of the study population is the possibility to control the lower legs veins of observed individuals by a qualified vascular specialist. To date, a qualitative assessment of veins according to the CEAP classification is a weak point in longitudinal epidemiological studies.
