Efficacy of complex decongestive therapy on venous flow, internal saphenous diameter, edema, fat mass of the limbs and quality of life in patients with chronic venous insufficiency: A randomized clinical trial
CDT treatment improves the CIVIQ-20 and Venous Clinical Severity Scores. It also improves symptoms (pain and heaviness), venous flow velocity (superficial veins and deep veins [common femoral vein, femoral vein, popliteal vein]) and decreases body mass index, fat mass, and ISV diameter.
