Study summary

Using of low concentrate sodium tetradecyl sulfate for sclerotherapy of telangiectasias should be no less effective than hypertonic glucose, and have a comparable frequency of adverse events.

Read the detailed description

For sclerotherapy of telangiectasias are used detergents. These are aggressive substances, which have a high frequency of adverse events. According to histological studies the safest concentration for the treatment of telangiectasias is less than that specified in the official instructions. The concentration of sodium tetradecyl sulfate 0.15% was effective and did not cause any adverse reactions in the treatment of telangiectasias from 0.8 to 1 mm in diameter. Small telangiectases (0.5 mm or less) require the treatment with the less aggressive sclerosing agent. Perhaps, the sodium tetradecyl sulfate 0.15%, 0.1% or even 0.05% and hypertonic glucose may be more effective and safe in this situation.

Inclusion criteria

  • women over 18
  • single primary or secondary telangiectasias unrelated to the reticular veins
  • signed to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • telangiectasias associated with reticular veins
  • diabetes mellitus
  • pregnancy or lactation
  • malignant neoplasms
  • inability or unwillingness of the patient to wear compression stockings
  • to one of the drugs
  • concomitant diseases: bronchial asthma, severe liver and kidney disease, acute thrombosis and thrombophlebitis, infection of the skin and/or soft tissues, infectious diseases, arteriosclerosis, diabetic angiopathy, heart defects requiring surgery, fever, toxic hyperthyroidism, obesity, tuberculosis, sepsis, violation of the cellular composition of the blood, all diseases requiring bed rest, heart disease with decompensation phenomena, known hereditary thrombophilia.
  • period after treatment of alcoholism
  • reception of oral
  • sedentary lifestyle
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Disappearance of the telangiectasia

    The clearing of the vessels on the six-point scale (from 0 to 5 points): 5 - total disappearance of the matting (100% efficacy), 4 - disappearance of around 80%, 3 - disappearance of around 60%, 2 - disappearance of around 40%, 1 - disappearance of around 20%, 0 - no changes.

    Time frame: 2 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pain during the procedure: visual analog scale

    Estimate of the pain on visual analog scale. Visual analog scale \[VAS\] is a measure of pain intensity. It is a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal 10 cm length: "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 10).

    Time frame: immediately after the procedure

  2. Patient Satisfaction After Treatment

    Assessment of patient satisfaction on the 3-point scale : * no result (0 points), * incomplete satisfaction (1 point), * complete satisfaction (2 points)

    Time frame: 2 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 10, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
