Therapeutic Efficacy of the Phlebology-oriented Thermal Cure at the Saint-Eloy Thermal Center in Treating Severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency Symptoms

What this Trial Is About

Chronic venous insufficiency CVI is a common and progressive vascular disease affecting many people, causing a burden for patients and healthcare systems. Researchers are studying the effectiveness and safety of a phlebology-oriented thermal cure at the Saint-Eloy Thermal Center in France, which uses thermal water treatments to help manage symptoms of severe chronic venous insufficiency. This study aims to assess this thermal treatment as an alternative to drug or surgical options. The study compares two groups of participants with severe chronic venous insufficiency one group receives the thermal cure at the Saint-Eloy Thermal Center, while the other does not receive thermal treatment. The thermal cure lasts for 3 consecutive weeks, with treatments six days per week, totaling 72 sessions, along with three medical consultations. The treatment plan is personalized by thermal doctors based on each patients clinical profile. Participants will be involved in the 3-week treatment phase followed by 6 months of clinical follow-up to monitor symptom relief and quality of life. Researchers will assess treatment effectiveness at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months, including symptoms, skin changes, patient discomfort, compliance with compression devices, and patient satisfaction. Safety is monitored throughout the study. The total participation includes treatment and follow-up visits over several months.
