Efficacy of light support pantyhose.
The results of a multicenter, double-blind clinical trial indicate that the use of light support pantyhose significantly reduced the incidence of aches, swelling and fatigue in the lower legs of healthy women. A trend toward reduced foot and leg circumference was noted; however, it did not correlate significantly with subjective symptomatology.
