Phase 4
Recruiting
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
NameTimeMethod
visual analogic scale3 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
NameTimeMethod
Quality of life as measured by a specific chronic venous insufficiency questionnaire3 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 scale3 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 medications3 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 medications3 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 investigator3 months

Tolerability will be a measure of the nature and quantity of adverse clinical and lab reactions related to study drugs.
