ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different levels of compression hosiery can help patients after a specific vein treatment. The researchers want to see if using first-class compression stockings, which are easier to put on and more comfortable, will help patients stick to their treatment plan better than second-class stockings. The trial involves patients who have varicose veins in their legs and are receiving a procedure called endovenous laser ablation, along with sclerotherapy and phlebectomy, to treat these veins.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old and have varicose veins classified as C2-C5, which means they have noticeable symptoms but not severe complications. They should be undergoing the recommended vein treatment and must have given their consent to join the study. Patients who have a history of certain vein problems or other specific medical conditions may not be able to participate. Those who join the study can expect to wear either first-class or second-class compression stockings for two weeks after their procedure, and the researchers will monitor how well these stockings work for them.
