“…10,11 Commonly cited reasons include pain, discomfort, difficulty donning the stockings, perceived ineffectiveness, excessive heat, skin irritation, cost and appearance. 6,10,12 Clinicians should ask their patients why the stockings are not being used, because many of these factors are easily amenable by simply changing the stocking material, lowering the degree of compression or providing adequate information and reassurance to patients. Box 4 shows the information that we believe should be given to patients when prescribing graduated compression stockings.…”

“…The adherence to compressive stockings is usually decisive to manage symptoms and complications of CVD and venous stasis [150]. Some studies refer the importance of wearing compression stocking during the application of MLD [17,18].…”

Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a chronic condition that is associated with venous hypertension, vein's valves damage, venous obstruction, and calf muscle pump impairment. This blood circulatory condition is also characterized by important inflammatory changes affecting the skin, the subcutaneous tissue and the muscles, which are probably triggered by blood stasis and venous edema. With disease progression, severe ulcerative skin damage might occur, which when present represent the more severe stage of this condition. CVD has a significant economic, social and health impact, mostly due to raised morbidity and chronicity.The treatment of patients with CVD might focus on both the symptoms and secondary changes of the disease, such as edema, skin and subcutaneous changes or ulcers.Usually, initial treatment of CVD patients involves a non-invasive, conservative treatment to reduce symptoms, treat secondary changes, and help prevent the development of secondary complications and the progression of the disease. Complementary, some interventional or surgical treatments can be undertaken.There are several conservative treatments to treat and prevent complications associated with CVD that have been described in the literature, like manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and compression, physical exercise, intermittent pneumatic pressure, kinesio taping, electrical muscle stimulation, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, hydrotherapy, and health education. Most of these techniques are complementary to compression therapy or pharmacological treatment. This chapter will address the role of physical therapists in the management of CVD. The chapter will begin by reviewing the basic physiopathology of CVD, including the role of calf muscle pump. The CEAP classification system and the chronic venous severity score will be presented, as these are main tools for clinical assessment of CVD severity. In the remainder of the chapter will address the physiological effects and recommendations for treating CVD of MLD, based on our clinical experience and own research.

“…In the same study, which concerned adult patients who visited their general practitioners (GPs) (independent of the reason for the GP consultation), the symptoms and signs of CVD were found in 48% of the female population and in 37% of the males [5]. Currently, there is still a lack of the good projected and properly performed epidemiological studies dedicated to chronic venous disease that are related to the general unselected population in our country [5][6][7][8][9]. Moreover, the data concerning the potential and clinically implemented treatment methods in Poland need to validated [6][7][8][9].…”

Chronic venous disease (CVD) is one of the most commonly present and diagnosed vascular system pathologies, and it influences the health status of the general population and the quality of life of many individuals. Among the significant factors that influence the presence and severity of CVD is patient gender, and some known and suspected risk factors have to be considered. In this study, the prevalence of symptoms and signs of CVD in the female population of Poland was evaluated. Additionally, the levels of knowledge and public awareness related to CVD and its risk factors, prophylaxis methods, and treatments were evaluated. The study was performed with a representative group of 604 adult females (aged 20-80 years) from all Polish provinces via computer-assisted telephone interviews.

Compliance with compression stockings in patients with chronic venous disorders

Abstract: (1) Compression stockings are too rarely prescribed and often unaccepted at early stages of CVD; (2) The common reason for discontinuation of compression therapy is its high cost.
