Varicose Veins of Lower Limb Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Compression Stockings and Kinesio Taping Method on Pain, Edema, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Venous Disease
The purpose of this randomised and controlled study is to investigate the effects of Kinesio Taping method and compression stockings, combined with exercise therapy, on pain, edema, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic venous disease. Therefore, the study compares effectiveness of these two methods for chronic venous disease.
Chronic venous disease (CVD), an important cause of morbidity, is one of the most commonly
reported chronic medical conditions. Venous hypertension in the lower limbs caused by venous
reflux, venous obstruction or calf muscle pump failure is the main pathophysiological
mechanism of CVD. The incidence of varicose veins in population varies with geographic
region, age, gender and risk factors. The prevalence of trunk varicose veins has been
reported 25.9% in women and 12.9% in men. Symptoms include leg pain, edema, pruritus,
discomfort, trophic skin changes, venous ulcerations. Reduced quality of life, and limited
activities of daily living have been reported due to the symptoms in patients with CVD.
Compression therapies play a major role in the treatment of CVD. Elastic compression
stockings reduces residual volume fraction by promoting calf muscle pump function and
reducing venous reflux. Periodic contractions of the gastrocnemius muscle has also beneficial
impacts on improving calf muscle pump function and reducing venous stasis.
Kinesio Taping, developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase, is a taping method applied for supporting muscle
function, correcting joint misalignment, improving lymph and blood flow, decreasing pain and
edema. Kinesio Taping increases cutaneous and subcutaneous area by lifting the skin, thus
improves movement and circulation. Mixed Kinesio Taping-compression model has been reported
to improve venous symptoms, peripheral venous flow, disease severity and quality of life in
patients with mild CVD.
Studies comparing conservative treatment techniques and investigating functional capacity in
patients with CVD are very limited despite the high prevalence of disease. Therefore, the
investigators planned this study to examine the effects of Kinesio Taping method and
compression stockings on pain, edema, functional capacity and quality of lifein patients with
CVD.
