Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment of Lower Extremity Spider Veins With Excel V (NCT NCT01362192)

NCT ID: NCT01362192

Last Updated: 2015-01-29

Results Overview

A panel of independent physicians will assess before and after digital photographs of each treated area. The physicians will be blinded to the treatment parameters and to the temporal order of the before and after photographs. Each independent physician will be asked to select the baseline photograph for each treated area and then rate the degree of improvement using the following scale: * 0 = No Improvement (0%) * 1 = Mild Improvement (\< 25%) * 2 = Moderate Improvement (26 to 50%) * 3 = Significant Improvement (51 to 75%) * 4 = Very Significant Improvement (76 to 100%)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks (12 weeks post-final laser treatment)

Population: per protocol

A panel of independent physicians will assess before and after digital photographs of each treated area. The physicians will be blinded to the treatment parameters and to the temporal order of the before and after photographs. Each independent physician will be asked to select the baseline photograph for each treated area and then rate the degree of improvement using the following scale: * 0 = No Improvement (0%) * 1 = Mild Improvement (\< 25%) * 2 = Moderate Improvement (26 to 50%) * 3 = Significant Improvement (51 to 75%) * 4 = Very Significant Improvement (76 to 100%)
