The aim of this randomized, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the effect of local treatment with Essaven gel (EG), in comparison with placebo in 30 patients with superficial vein thrombosis (SVT). The 8-week study evaluated SVT with an analogue clinical/sympto matic score. SVT was associated with varicose veins. In patients treated with active EG the decrease in score was significantly larger (p < 0.02) than in the placebo group. No intolerance was observed. The decrease in score in the placebo group was due to spontaneous resolution and to skin manipulation and massage. In conclusion local treatment with EG in SVT improves signs/symptoms much faster than placebo. This study confirms earlier observation on the effective, local use of EG in SVT.
