The purpose of this study is to compare functional status and quality of life of a group of patients with chronic venous insufficiency treated with manual lymphatic drainage with a group not treated with manual lymphatic drainage.
Investigators hypothesized that manual lymphatic drainage can improve:

With Visual Analogue Scale was assessed: pain, fatigue, heaviness, itching, sKin irritation, cramps and other. |
| Assessed at baseline (no intervention), after approximately one month, with an error of three days (10 sessions of manual lymphatic drainage, for experimental group) and after approximately two months from baseline (with an error of 5 days). |
| Hemodynamic evidence of severity of chronic venous disease | Venous reflux and anterograde flow during manual leg compression, by duplex ultrasound in femoral vein, great saphenous vein, popliteal vein and small saphenous vein. | Assessed at baseline (no intervention), after approximately one month, with an error of three days (10 sessions of manual lymphatic drainage, for experimental group) and after approximately two months from baseline (with an error of 5 days). |
| Clinical severity of chronic venous insufficiency | Assessed by Venous Clinical Severity Score. | Assessed at baseline (no intervention), after approximately one month, with an error of three days (10 sessions of manual lymphatic drainage, for experimental group) and after approximately two months from baseline (with an error of 5 days). |
| Calf muscle strength and ankle range of motion | Evaluated by Biodex system 3 pro isokinetic dynamometer. | Assessed at aseline (no intervention), after approximately one month, with an error of three days (10 sessions of manual lymphatic drainage, for experimental group) and after approximately two months from baseline (with an error of 5 days) |
| Sel-reported functional status | Evaluated by Portuguese version of Functional Status Questionnaire (FSQ). | Assessed at aseline (no intervention), after approximately one month, with an error of three days (10 sessions of manual lymphatic drainage, for experimental group) and after approximately two months from baseline (with an error of 5 days) |
