Varicose vein laser treatment moves out of the OR
NCT ID NCT07629843
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will test a new way to treat varicose veins using a 1940nm laser, performed outside the operating room under local anesthesia. Researchers want to see how satisfied patients are with the procedure and check its safety and effectiveness. About 155 adults with saphenous vein issues will take part, and they will fill out a questionnaire to rate their experience.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 1940nm endovenous laser
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that treating varicose veins with a laser outside the operating room is safe and satisfying for patients, potentially making the procedure more convenient.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no control group, so results may not prove the treatment is better than standard care. It is also early-stage and small (155 participants), so findings may not apply to everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Endovenous Laser Ablation of a common or recurrent saphenous vein as part of routine care. * Clinical, Etiology, Anatomy, Pathophysiology, classification clinical stage. * Ability to understand the study objectives and complete questionnaires in French. * Patient has been informed and has verbally indicated their non-opposition to participating in the research. Exclusion Criteria: * Endovenous Laser Ablation not feasible for technical reasons, particularly if the vein is too "bent" or there are endoluminal obstacles. * Episode of deep vein thrombosis less than 3 months ago or of superficial vein thrombosis less than 6 weeks ago. * Active cancer. * Geographical distance incompatible with study follow-up, according to the investigator's judgment. * Patients currently participating or having participated in research within the previous 3 months. * Persons covered by articles L1121-5 to L1121-8 of the French Public Health Code (corresponds to all protected persons: pregnant women, women in labor, breastfeeding mothers, persons deprived of liberty by judicial or administrative decision, persons subject to a legal protection measure).
