Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of our study was to compare the effectiveness of active and passive practices in patients with CVI.
Detailed Description
Volunteers who have been diagnosed with venous insufficiency according to the criteria of inclusion, who applied to Cardiovascular Surgery Department will be included this study. Participants will be randomly allocated 3 groups using the 'Research Randomizer' website. In all groups, a common evaluation protocol will be applied to the patients. Compression therapy will be applied to the first group. Active treatment in addition to compression therapy will be applied to the second group. Passive treatment in addition to compression therapy will be applied to the third group.
