Brief Summary

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

Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy of different compression methods within 48 hours after endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in terms of great saphenous vein closure rate, postoperative complications, quality of life, time to return to normal work, and patient satisfaction.

Detailed Description

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

Postoperative compression of varicose veins can achieve compression hemostasis, early getting out of bed, reducing edema, preventing phlebitis, ensuring closure effect, reducing soreness and pain, and preventing thrombosis. Compression therapy is a continuation of minimally invasive treatment of varicose veins, and postoperative compression therapy is continued for at least 1 month, and grade II compression therapy may be considered.The application of postoperative compression to the treated limb after radiofrequency ablation of the great saphenous vein has been a topic of controversy. The basic principle of using postoperative compression is to reduce the risk of bleeding, hematoma formation, pain, swelling, and thrombus formation. However, many patients find wearing gradient pressure elastic stockings cumbersome and uncomfortable, as the silicone grips around the stockings can cause skin itching and discomfort. Moreover, there is a lack of strong evidence supporting this treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of continuous 48-hour use of gradient pressure elastic stockings for compression of the affected limb after endovenous radiofrequency ablation.
