Efficacy and safety of a Butcher's broom preparation (Ruscus aculeatus L. extract) compared to placebo in patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency
Abstract
In a multicentre double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial of 148 women with chronic venous insufficiency, 12 weeks of Ruscus aculeatus extract significantly reduced leg volume, ankle and lower-leg circumference and subjective symptoms (heavy, tired legs, tension) versus placebo, with good tolerability.
