Varicose Veins of Lower Limb Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Lower Extremities Cold Immersion Applied to Patients With Varicose Veins on Quality of Life, Anxiety and Symptoms
In the literature, it is stated that cold water immersion to lower extremities is effective on the symptoms of the disease. Studies have shown that cold water immersion, which is one of the cold application methods, has effects on increasing joint mobility, reducing pain, reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and increasing quality of life etc. For this reason, the study is planned as a randomized controlled interventional study to determine the effect of cold water immersion directly to the lower extremity in the preoperative period of patients with varicose veins on quality of life, anxiety and symptoms experienced.

Other | State and Trade Anxiety Inventory (STAI) | The STAI-X is an extensively used self-administered inventory of two sections containing 20 items each, designed to explore anxiety in its temporary condition of "state anxiety" (STAI-S) and the more general and longstanding quality of "trait anxiety" (STAI-T). The STAI-S assesses how respondents feel "right now, at this moment", and the STAI-T targets how respondents "generally feel". Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale, with choices ranging from 1 ("not at all") to 4 ("very much so") for the state scale, and 1 ("almost never") to 4 ("almost always") for the trait scale. The minimum score for each section is 20, with a maximum score of 80. A total score of 40 or more indicates an anxious condition. The higher the score is, the more severe the anxiety condition. | four weeks | |
Primary | The Patient Questionnaire | This form was created by the researcher based on the literature. This form consists of questions which sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, body mass index, marital status, living people, educational status, employment status, economic status), characteristics of health status (presence of chronic diseases, drugs used regularly, smoking and alcohol use), characteristics of varicose disease (how many years have varicose veins, which leg has varicose veins, family history of varicose veins, previous surgery for varicose veins and use of varicose stockings), and physical symptoms experienced due to varicose veins (expected to score according to 0-10 evaluation scale). according to the characteristics (how many years have varicose disease, which leg has varicose veins, family history of varicose veins, previous surgery for varicose veins and using varicose stockings). | four weeks | |
Secondary | VEINES-QOL/Sym | VEINES-QOL/Sym is a standardised, 26-item, patient-reported questionnaire to assess the severity and frequency of venous insufficiency symptoms (questions 1,7; 10 items: heaviness, pain, leg swelling, night cramps, fatigue, burning sensation, throbbing sensation, itching, numbness in the legs, pain intensity), time of day when the symptoms are most pronounced (1 item, question 2), changes in the severity of symptoms during the past year (1 item, question 3), limitations in daily activities associated with venous insufficiency (9 item, questions 4,5,6), and the psychological impact on the functional status of patients with venous insufficiency measured during the previous 4 weeks (5 items, question 8). The scores are transformed as described in (14); the higher the result the better the quality of life. | four weeks |
