Summary

• The aim of the study is to examine the effects of pelvic floor exercises combined with a regular exercise program and compression stockings on symptomatic improvement, capillary circulation, edema, and functional capacity in individuals with chronic venous insufficiency. It is to compare whether these two methods are superior to each other in terms of clinical and functional outcomes. To evaluate the reliability of this combination application, patient compliance, and its contribution to quality of life. In addition to the researcher (doctoral student), a consultant and a research physician will be involved in this study to conduct clinical applications, observe the process, and collect data. The study will be conducted at a single center.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a regular exercise program combined with compression stocking use versus pelvic floor exercise application on symptomatic improvement, capillary circulation, edema, and functional capacity in individuals with chronic venous insufficiency. It aims to compare whether these two methods are superior to each other in terms of clinical and functional outcomes. It also aims to evaluate the reliability of this combination application, patient compliance, and its contribution to quality of life and hemodynamics.

Conditions

• Chronic Venous Insufficiency, Pelvic Floor, Exercise

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Pelvic exercise group	The original aspect of the study is that it contributes to the creation of a multidisciplinary treatment protocol by examining the synergistic effects of these two approaches on pelvic floor exercises. It is anticipated that the findings will contribute to the creation of individualized and effective intervention strategies that can serve as a guide for clinicians.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	control group	This group will be randomly assigned to receive a home exercise program and an exercise and compression stocking diary application.
