- Conditions
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency
- Interventions
- Drug: Aesculus hippocastanum, and associations
- Registration Number
- NCT06579482
- Lead Sponsor
- Fundação Educacional Serra dos Órgãos
- Brief Summary
To demonstrate the clinical non-inferiority of efficacy between Aesculus hippocastanum, Polygonum acre, Smilax Pepyracea, Rutin and Diosmin 450mg and Hesperidin 50mg tablets in the improvement of lower limb symptoms assessed by means of a 100mm visual scale (VAS) over 3 months among adult patients presenting with chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs.
- Detailed Description
Phlebotonics represent a heterogeneous group of therapeutic products of natural or synthetic origin that exhibit effects on edema and/or symptoms related to chronic venous diseaseThis class of drugs is effective in improving the symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency and in cases of hemorrhoids and for this reason they have become an established component of the therapeutic arsenal for all phases of these diseases Phlebotomics are classified into four categories: benzopyrones, saponins, other plant extracts, and synthetic drugs

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method visual analogic scale 3 months A 100 mm VAS (visual analogic scale) is marked from 0 (absence of venous symptoms) up to 100 (maximum symptomatic venous manifestations) by the patient (higher scores means a worse outcome). It is fulfilled by the patient him- or herself, under the physician's watch. VAS is meant to globally evaluate lower limbs venous symptomatology (heavy legs, painful legs, fatigued legs, deambulation limitations, swollen sensation and/or lower limbs tension).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Quality of life as measured by a specific chronic venous insufficiency questionnaire 3 months CIVIQ-10 (chronIc venous insufficiency quality of life questionnaire) is a questionnaire composed of 20 scored items (on a 4 point scale) that inform on the capacity of the patient of coping with daily routine tasks, regarding their lower limbs venous competence. The higher the score, the better the clinical outcome.
Oral acceptability by the patient through the use of a visual analogic scale 3 months A 100 mm VAS (visual analogic scale) is marked from 0 (easy swallowing) up to 100 (very difficult to swallow) by the patient (higher scores means a worse outcome). It is fulfilled under by the patient him- or herself under the physician's watch.
Patient's satisfaction to study medications 3 months This endpoint regards to the medication's efficacy as perceived by the patient and graduated as: "insufficient", "acceptable", "good", or "very good".
Physician's satisfaction to study medications 3 months This endpoint regards to the medication's efficacy as perceived by the investigating physician and graduated as: "insufficient", "acceptable", "good", or "very good".
Medical tolerability to tested drugs as measured by the investigator 3 months Tolerability will be a measure of the nature and quantity of adverse clinical and lab reactions related to study drugs.
