Active clinical trials for "Venous Insufficiency"

About 90 % of vascular symptoms affecting the lower limbs consist of venous diseases. Its highest incidence occurs from the second decade of life, affecting significantly the economically active population. Chronic Venous Insufficiency treatment aims to relieve symptoms, treat and prevent complications, prevent recurrences and provide cosmetic satisfaction with minimal side effects. It's current treatment includes some classic postural measures (leg elevation), elastic stockings and bandages compression therapy and possible medication (phlebotonics). The results in the medium and long term are unfavorable, since a large number of patients do not get better or evolves with recurrence of symptoms. Nowadays many, no prospective , not randomized , international studies have shown favorable results with endovascular treatment of obstruction in the iliac vein territory in patients with advanced Chronic Venous Insufficiency . The purpose of this prospective, double-blinded randomized study is to evaluate the results obtained with endovascular treatment, through the use of angioplasty and stenting in this group of patients when compared with clinical treatment .

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the fixed-dose combination of coumarin and troxerutin versus placebo in the symptomatic treatment of chronic venous insufficiency.

Study to determine the efficacy and safety of Antistax® film coated tablets in improving microcirculation of the skin in the leg of patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)

This is a single center, multispecialty, randomized double blind placebo control feasibility clinical trial. The purpose is to evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in treating extracranial venous obstructive lesions, and its influence on the clinical outcomes of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients that have been found to have chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI).

Severe skin damage caused by chronic venous disorders (CVDs) results in relentless pain and poor quality of life for millions of adults in the U.S. each year. DVDs are under-recognized and under-treated disorders shat harm the veins of the legs and at worst, cause skin inflammation and venous leg ulcers. A new way to ease the pain and inflammation is proposed in this study of cryotherapy (cool gel wraps) applied to damaged skin of the lower legs of CVD-affected individuals. The study hypothesis predicts that this novel cryotherapy model and method will significantly improve the health and quality of life for those with CVDs and that the intervention will become a standard of care for CVDs. In addition, the method will, over time, reduce health care costs associated with treating poor CVD outcomes.

The primary objective for this clinical study is to assess the role of the CE Marked Sapheon Closure System in closure of incompetent great saphenous veins "GSV" in a routine clinical setting.

To evaluate the efficacy and the tolerance of echoguided sclerotherapy using Lauromacrogol 400 foam for the treatment of Great Saphenous Vein (GSV) insufficiency. A comparative study of 3% versus 1% Lauromacrogol 400 foam.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of DermaStream(tm) in the management of chronic wounds. Other goals of this study are to gain feedback from patients and healthcare providers on the ease of use (the ergonomic aspect) of the device, and to make a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of DermaStream(tm) in chronic wound management.

This study will enroll up to 192 children less than 18 years of age, who will receive electrocardiographic guidance for placement of a PICC in addition to radiography done as standard care. The investigators will determine the location of the PICC tip from both ECG and radiograph, and then measure the degree of correlation between the two methods.

This study is designed to describe the difference in varicose vein outcomes found from using a neuromuscular electrical stimulation device for different amounts of time - Group A (control - no device), Group B (device for 30 mins per day) and Group C (device for 60 mins per day). The groups are assessed after 6 weeks of intervention.
