ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how the severity of chronic venous obstruction, which is a blockage in the veins that can cause problems with blood flow, relates to a condition called venous claudication. Venous claudication can cause pain or discomfort in the legs, especially when walking. The study aims to better understand how these two issues are connected, which could help improve treatment options for patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 80 years old and have a specific blockage in one of the major veins in your body. You also need to be able to understand the study and give your consent to join. If you decide to participate, you can expect to undergo assessments related to your condition. This research is important as it may provide insights into better management of symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected by these vein issues.
