Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of the balneotherapy program (therapeutic orientation: Phlebology) in terms of chronic venous disease improvement and related quality of life, in patients presented with advanced chronic venous insufficiency (i.e., with C4-C5 of severity classification). The multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) "Thermes & Veines" that aimed at evaluating balneotherapy in patients with advanced chronic venous insufficiency is considered as the reference study. The French National Academy of Medicine encourages the re-use of data of published RCT when available. In this context, the current study is designed as a single-arm prospective study with indirect comparison using propension score. The Control group consists of the 197 patients which were allocated to the Control group of the "Thermes & Veines". All patients enrolled in the current study benefit of 18-days of spa treatment with Mineral Water of Royat, and examination with vascular practitioner at enrollment and 6 months after the beginning of spa treatment.
