Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with chronic venous disease causing pain or ache will be randomised into two groups, active stockings (18-21 mmHg) or placebo stockings

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with chronic venous disease causing pain or ache satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomised into two groups, active stockings (18-21 mmHg) or placebo stockings. The primary outcome of the study (pain/ache scored using a visual analogue scale) and a number of secondary symptoms, signs and rVCSS (revised Venous Clinical Severity Score) will be obtained at baseline and after one week of wearing the active or placebo stocking.
