Core Tip	Nonsurgical treatment improved lower extremity function and quality of life in patients with varicose veins, bringing their condition close to that of healthy individuals. However, this study found no significant difference in muscle oxygenation. We posit that significant changes may be observed in more severely ill patients or long-term follow-up.
