About this study

Official title: Randomised, Comparative Trial in Parallel Groups and Blinded, to Compare Efficacy on Pain Following a Procedure for Injecting Sclerotherapeutic Foam Into the G.S V. Under Echography Control, Between Three Types of Medical Compression Hose

The trial objectives are to compare efficacy relative to pain, along the route of the vein following echoguided endovenous injection of sclerotherapeutic foam into the Great Saphenous vein, of class III microfibre compression (centred at 25 mm Hg) versus class I (10-15 mm Hg) versus class III cotton compression (20 to 36 mm Hg) over 21 days. The main contrast will be the comparison between the first two groups mentioned. All other contrasts will be secondary. The "Class I compression" versus "The two class III compressions" contrast will also be studied.

Efficacy will be measured by totalling the VAS scores for maximum pain experienced since the morning and evaluated by the patient at the end of the day.

Consumption of analgesics or the number of days of analgesic treatment necessary for the 3 compression types used will be compared.

One of the trial objectives is also to show that regular use of a class III compression product leads to a reduction in complications following sclerosis (by reducing the number of non-serious/serious complications specific to sclerosis: matting, pigmentation, inflammation, development of sclerosis requiring drainage, DVT, pulmonary embolism, etc.). The trial also aims to compare the rate of successful sclerosis between the three devices, success being defined by complete or partial occlusion of the great saphenous vein, leading to the disappearance of reflux at the crural level.

The other secondary objectives will be patient evaluation of comfort, ease of putting on and taking off the compression hose and a global appreciation of the procedure for echoguided endovenous injection of sclerotherapeutic foam into the great saphenous vein, followed by wearing compression hose.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. pain following a procedure for injecting sclerotherapeutic foam into the Great Saphenous vein under echography control

    Pain evaluated from D1 to D21 by the patient at the end of the day using a vertical visual analog scale (VAS) on 10 cm not fixed, in the patient's book: "Indicate the maximum intensity of your pain along the route of the treated vein since this morning and before taking any analgesic. Draw a horizontal line on the vertical line below

    Measured: 25 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Compression Stockings in people with Venous Disease, run by Le Club Mousse.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pain following a procedure for injecting sclerotherapeutic foam into the Great Saphenous vein under echography control (time frame: 25 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2011.
