ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different ways to provide compression therapy after a procedure called endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which is used to treat varicose veins and other problems in the leg veins. The trial aims to see which method—using a multi-layer bandage or gradient pressure elastic stockings—works better in helping the veins close properly after the treatment. Researchers will look at how well the veins respond, any complications that arise, how quickly patients can return to their normal activities, and overall satisfaction with the treatment.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 80 years old and have specific types of varicose veins that are causing symptoms. You should also be able to understand the study and agree to take part. If you have certain medical conditions, like severe vein issues or a history of particular vein surgeries, you may not be eligible. If you join the trial, you can expect to follow up with the research team and help them learn more about the best ways to care for patients after vein treatment.
