Randomized Controlled TrialPost-procedural Compression vs. No Compression After Radiofrequency Ablation and Concomitant Foam Sclerotherapy of Varicose Veins: A Randomised Controlled Non-inferiority Trial.
To compare post-operative compression with no compression, after radiofrequency endothermal ablation (RFA) of a truncal varicose vein and concomitant foam sclerotherapy of the tributaries. ⋯ After treating C2-C4 varicose veins with RFA and concomitant foam sclerotherapy, no post-operative compression was non-inferior to post-operative compression, in terms of safety and efficacy. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02890563.

Randomized Controlled TrialPhysiological and physical responses to wearing compression garments during soccer matches and recovery.
There is not enough information on the effects of compression therapy in soccer players during recovery after matches. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of wearing compression garments during soccer matches and during recovery period on physical responses. ⋯ Compression garments could be moderately beneficial, but effects are not significant.

Randomized Controlled TrialPost-operative Benefit of Compression Therapy after Endovenous Laser Ablation for Uncomplicated Varicose Veins: A Randomised Clinical Trial.
The hypothesis that post-operative short-term compression therapy improves operation related complications in patients with uncomplicated varicose veins after endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) treatment was tested. ⋯ The use of an ECS does not prove to be of greater benefit in the quality of life and the mean time to return to work; ECS therapy does reduce the severity of pain and oedema during the first week after surgery in patients with uncomplicated varicose veins.

One versus two years of elastic compression stockings for prevention of post-thrombotic syndrome (OCTAVIA study): randomised controlled trial.
To study whether stopping elastic compression stockings (ECS) after 12 months is non-inferior to continuing them for 24 months after proximal deep venous thrombosis. ⋯ Stopping ECS after one year in compliant patients with proximal deep venous thrombosis seemed not to be non-inferior to continuing ECS therapy for two years in this non-inferiority trial.
