Data are presented as the median (interquartile range). VAS: Visual Analog Scale; AVVQ: Aberdeen Varicose Veins Questionnaire; experimental: sequential pneumatic compression. *p<0.001 Statistically significant difference within the group before and after the intervention. **p<0.001 Statistically significant difference between groups at baseline and after the intervention period.
