Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study seeks to determine if compliance with compression therapy is increased in patients with healed venous insufficiency ulcerations when lower levels of compression therapy are prescribed. This study will measure compliance with compression therapy at low levels of compression. It will also seek to determine if compression therapy aids in the prevention of venous insufficiency ulcer recurrence.
Detailed Description
This study looks to determine if patients with a history of venous insufficiency and recently healed venous insufficiency ulcerations are compliant with lower levels of compression therapy. It also seeks to evaluate the efficacy of compression therapy in the prevention of recurrence of venous insufficiency ulcerations.
