ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring varicose veins, which are swollen veins that can cause discomfort in the legs. The study is specifically looking at two groups of people: those who do not have varicose veins and those who have primary varicose veins. Researchers want to learn about how common these conditions are, what causes them, and how they change over time. By gathering this information, they hope to better understand chronic lower limb vein diseases and how they affect people's lives.

To participate in the study, individuals must be at least 36 years old and be a family member of the researcher (like a spouse, child, sibling, or parent). Participants will need to have regular check-ups and ultrasound assessments of their veins each year. However, people who have had previous invasive treatments for vein issues or have a history of blood clots cannot join the study. This trial is actively recruiting participants, and it's a great opportunity for those who meet the criteria to contribute to important research that could help many others with similar conditions.
