Abstract
Relief of symptoms and alterations of superficial venous pressures as a result of wearing elastic stockings were assessed in 12 patients with varicose veins. The effect of wearing elastic stockings on superficial venous pressures was measured in 10 normal volunteers. In the group of patients continuous elastic stocking compression produced relief of symptoms and a lowering of the venous ambulatory pressure.Keywords
