Filter by:Study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of Antistax® film-coated tablets in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI, Clinical condition, Etiology, Anatomic location, Pathophysiology (CEAP) Classification: Clinical Class 3, or 4a)
Study to determine the efficacy and safety of Antistax® film coated tablets in improving microcirculation of the skin in the leg of patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
Main objective: Safety and tolerability of Antistax® film coated tablets Secondary objective: Effect of Antistax® film coated tablets on subjective symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency
About 90 % of vascular symptoms affecting the lower limbs consist of venous diseases. Its highest incidence occurs from the second decade of life, affecting significantly the economically active population. Chronic Venous Insufficiency treatment aims to relieve symptoms, treat and prevent complications, prevent recurrences and provide cosmetic satisfaction with minimal side effects. It's current treatment includes some classic postural measures (leg elevation), elastic stockings and bandages compression therapy and possible medication (phlebotonics). The results in the medium and long term are unfavorable, since a large number of patients do not get better or evolves with recurrence of symptoms. Nowadays many, no prospective , not randomized , international studies have shown favorable results with endovascular treatment of obstruction in the iliac vein territory in patients with advanced Chronic Venous Insufficiency . The purpose of this prospective, double-blinded randomized study is to evaluate the results obtained with endovascular treatment, through the use of angioplasty and stenting in this group of patients when compared with clinical treatment .
Epidermal grafts are believed to promote healing by two mechanisms: graft take and the promotion of wound healing through the delivery of growth factors and the essential elements of tissue repair and wound healing.28 This study is intended to establish the superior effectiveness of epidermal grafting and multi-layer compression over that of multi-layer compression alone, in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. Millions of Americans are afflicted with painful, open, draining sores on their lower extremities. These sores are referred to as venous leg ulcerations (VLUs). Under the best of circumstances these ulcers require weeks or months to heal. Not uncommonly wound care specialists see patients who have suffered for years or faced amputation of the limb as their only option to alleviate the pain. Standard of care will result in healing in 50% of venous leg ulcers in 12 weeks. However, roughly half of patients suffering from venous ulcers will require advanced therapy. Epidermal grafting has been a reconstructive option for decades; however, to date there has not been a reliable and reproducible system to harvest epidermis. The CelluTome® Harvesting System permits the harvesting of epidermal blister grafts at the patient's bedside without the need for anesthesia. The grafts can be easily transferred to the wound bed. In case studies, epidermal grafting appeared to be effective in reducing wound size and accelerating closure of venous leg ulcers.
The investigators will be evaluating the immediate and longer term effect of treatment with a medical device on the symptoms of chronic venous disease.
To investigate the efficacy of an electrical stimulation (using the REVITIVE IX device) in treating patients with venous insufficiency.
Explorative study on a medical device with two steps. The first pilot step will be on 8 patients (4 with lymphedema and 4 with venous insufficiency). The main objective is to assess the feasibility of measures by high resolution transient elastography on these pathologic skins, and to define 3 areas for measures. The second step will be on 136 participants (48 healthy volunteers, 48 with venous insufficiency and 40 with unilateral lymphedema of a limb). The main objective is to quantify, by high resolution transient elastography, the dermal and hypodermal cutaneous fibrosis in limbs with lymphedema and venous insufficiency, and to compare it to healthy skin.
This study was designed to compare the party balloon assisted Valsalva with the conventional Valsava for exhibiting the reverse venous flow in superficial venous valvular incompetence duplex examination.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common disease affecting mainly lower limbs leading to significant impact on the quality of life. There is no study, to our knowledge, has attempted to evaluate the impact of compression stockings on all patients with CVI. Our aim is to estimate the prevalence of CVI in Qassim Region and to test the effectiveness of compression stockings.
