The effect of MPFF on skin temperature at different stages of chronic venous insufficiency

ConclusionThis study has shown that CVI is associated with skin temperature increases in the lower limbs, in relation to the 6 different stages of the CEAP classification. Skin temperature, however, cannot be used as a parameter for evaluation of the clinical outcome. Daflon ® administration appears to have a beneficial effect on the skin temperature elevation occurring in the legs of patients with CVI at the different stages of the CEAP classification, and consequently is likely to help to prevent complications, such as venous ulcers.
