DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

This completed trial tested a device called Ceragem Master V6 to see if it improves blood circulation in people at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and in healthy adults. 59 participants used the device once, and researchers measured changes in blood flow speed and vein size u…

This completed trial tested a device called CGM MB-1701 to see if it can improve blood flow in people at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The study enrolled 60 adults who did not have DVT at the start. Researchers measured changes in blood flow speed in the leg vein after usi…

This study looked at whether a low dose of the blood thinner apixaban (2.5 mg twice daily for 12 months) can safely prevent blood clots from returning in people who already had a clot triggered by a temporary risk factor. 600 high-risk adults took either apixaban or a placebo. Th…

This study tested how well a small, portable device (LumiraDx) measures blood clotting (INR) compared to standard lab tests. Researchers collected blood from 420 adults, some taking warfarin and some not, using both a fingerstick and a vein draw. The goal was to see if the device…

This study tested a new approach to diagnose whether a blood clot has returned in the leg. Instead of relying on older methods, doctors used color Doppler ultrasound and a D-Dimer blood test to safely rule out a new clot. Over 400 people with a history of deep vein thrombosis too…

This study looks at whether ultrasound can correctly diagnose a repeat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the same leg. Researchers will check if the clot changes after 3 months of blood thinner treatment. The goal is to reduce false alarms and unnecessary treatment. The study involve…

This study tested a new rapid D-dimer blood test (LumiraDx) in 679 people with symptoms of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The test uses a small blood sample from a finger prick or vein to quickly measure D-dimer levels, which can help rule out dangerous blood clots. …

This study tested whether a mobile app called ThinkSono Guidance can help healthcare workers who are not ultrasound experts (like nurses or general doctors) take good-quality ultrasound images of leg veins to check for blood clots. Over 600 adults with symptoms of deep vein throm…

This study tested whether starting physiotherapy early is practical and helpful for patients hospitalized with a first-time deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the leg. Twenty-four adults participated, and researchers measured how many joined, stayed, and completed quality-of-life surv…

This study looked at how doctors make decisions about dosing the blood thinner warfarin based on a patient's genetic background. Researchers used virtual reality to simulate patient visits with different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. 196 internal medicine residents partic…

This study looked at whether a blood test done before hip or knee replacement surgery can predict the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a dangerous blood clot. Researchers measured thrombin generation in 146 patients. The goal was to see if the test could identify wh…

This study tested a decision-support tool called DOACT that helps doctors choose the right blood thinner for patients with blood clots in veins or lungs. Researchers compared how well the tool performed against artificial intelligence models and doctors' own judgment. The goal wa…

This study looked at how well the Wells score, a tool used to predict deep vein thrombosis (blood clots), works for hospitalized patients who are already receiving blood thinners. Researchers compared the score's accuracy between patients with and without thromboprophylaxis and c…

This study looked at 744 people who had a blood clot before and were suspected of having another one. Researchers tested three different checklists (called clinical decision rules) to see how well they could tell if a new clot was really there. The goal was to help doctors avoid …
