About this study
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of a structured program of physical therapy in ameliorating the adverse consequences of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). The study will also investigate the interrelationship among measure of chronic venous diseases: lower limb muscle strength, mobility, and other symptoms of CVI important to the quality of life. Sixty patients will be randomized to a 6 months physical therapy program or to a control group.
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of a structured program of physical therapy in ameliorating the adverse consequences of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). A secondary purpose is to investigate the interrelationship among measure of chronic venous diseases: lower limb muscle strength, mobility, and other symptoms of CVI important to the quality of life. Sixty patients will be randomized to a 6 months physical therapy program or to a control group. All subjects will undergo a complete hemodynamic and psychiatric assessment. Key measures will be repeated twice to quantify trend and stability of the baseline measures. Skin biopsies will be obtained in selected patients who demonstrate a response to the physical therapy to evaluate the ultrastructural response therapy. Physical therapy will be conducted 1-3 times per week. Participants will be visited at home and a program will be tailored for each individual to maximize compliance. Validated, standardized questionnaires (FIM, SF-36, OARS, CHART) and functional ratings will be employed at commencement,3,6 and 12 months. Evaluations of hydrodynamics, muscle strength, and ankle motion will be conducted monthly during active physical therapy. Participants in active therapy will be offered to wait listed control group after 6 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Physical Conditioning in people with Venous Insufficiency, run by US Department of Veterans Affairs at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jan 2009.
