Abstract

Background and ObjectivesMany overweight individuals develop obesity-associated functional venous insufficiency (OA-FVI), also known as obesity-associated dependency syndrome. This study investigates the impact of medical compression stockings (MCS) on the symptoms.Patients and MethodsA total of 49 patients, 37 female and 12 male, with a body-mass-index (BMI) of 30-40 kg/m2 and a clinical presentation of OA-FVI corresponding to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) stages C3-C5 were included. During the intervention phase, patients wore knee-length MCS compression class 2 (CCL2). In the first week, flat-knit MCS was worn on the left leg, round-knit MCS on the right leg. In the following 3 weeks, patients wore the MCS of their choice on both legs.ResultsThe average patient age was 54.0 years, and the mean BMI was 35.6 kg/m2. The average daily wearing time of the MCS was 9.6 hours. Among 40 patients with analyzable data, the VVSymQ score was reduced to 57% of the baseline value (p < .00001), particularly for the key symptoms of swelling, heaviness and achiness as well as throbbing. Edema was initially present in 22 patients. During the MCS intervention, the edema healed in 73% of the affected patients. The fit and comfort of the MCS was assessed as good or very good by 98% of the patients, donning and doffing was assessed as good or very good by 89% and 78% of the patients.ConclusionsThe symptoms of OA-FVI can be effectively reduced using MCS. The obese patients showed good compliance.Trial registry nameDeutsches Register Klinischer Studien; URL: https://drks.de/search/de/trial/DRKS00015468; registration number: DRKS00015468.

医用压缩袜减轻肥胖相关的功能性静脉功能不全的症状。
背景与目的许多超重个体会出现肥胖相关功能性静脉功能不全(OA-FVI),也称为肥胖相关依赖综合征。本研究探讨医用压缩袜(MCS)对症状的影响。患者与方法49例患者,女性37例,男性12例,体重指数(BMI) 30 ~ 40 kg/m2,临床表现为慢性静脉功能不全(CVI) c3 ~ c5期OA-FVI。在干预阶段,患者使用长度及膝的MCS 2级压缩(CCL2)。第一周,左腿穿平头针织MCS,右腿穿圆头针织MCS。在接下来的3周内,患者在双腿上佩戴他们选择的MCS。结果患者平均年龄54.0岁,平均BMI为35.6 kg/m2。MCS的平均每日佩戴时间为9.6小时。在40例可分析数据的患者中,VVSymQ评分降至基线值的57% (p < 0.00001),特别是对于肿胀、沉重、疼痛以及悸厥等关键症状。22例患者最初出现水肿。在MCS干预期间,73%的患者水肿愈合。98%的患者认为MCS的适合度和舒适度良好或非常好,89%和78%的患者认为穿戴和脱衣良好或非常好。结论MCS可有效减轻OA-FVI的症状。肥胖患者的依从性良好。试验注册名称:deutsches Register Klinischer student;URL: https://drks.de/search/de/trial/DRKS00015468;注册号:DRKS00015468。
