HEMOPHILIA

This study tested whether injecting bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) into the joints of people with hemophilia can prevent repeated bleeding episodes. Eighteen participants with chronic synovitis (joint inflammation) received the injection. Researchers measure…

This early-phase study tested a new drug called MG1113, given as a shot under the skin, in 15 adults with severe hemophilia A or B. The main goal was to check safety and how the drug moves through the body. Participants received multiple doses to see if the drug is well-tolerated…

This study tested whether a 6-month adapted physical activity program could improve functional capacity in people with hemophilia. Fourteen participants did exercises twice a week to improve joint mobility, strength, and balance. The main goal was to see if their walking distance…

This study tested whether a low-cost version of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections could safely ease joint pain and swelling in people with bleeding disorders like hemophilia. Fourteen adults with joint damage received the injection and were followed for 6 months. The goal was…

This study tested a physical therapy technique that uses a cuff to slightly restrict blood flow during exercise. The goal was to see if it could safely improve muscle strength and reduce pain in people with hemophilia who have ankle joint damage. 31 adults with hemophilia A or B …

This study looked at whether a special low-intensity exercise program, using blood flow restriction cuffs, is safe and helpful for people with moderate or severe hemophilia. Twenty adults completed 8 weeks of arm and leg exercises. Researchers measured changes in muscle function,…

This study looked at whether manual therapy (hands-on treatment) and structured exercises could improve balance and walking ability in adults with hemophilia. Thirty-five adults with moderate or severe hemophilia took part. Half received 12 physiotherapy sessions over 6 weeks, wh…

This study looked at bone density in 448 men with hemophilia and healthy volunteers to see how common bone loss is. Participants had a bone density scan and some gave blood samples. The goal was to understand if hemophilia itself, not just lack of activity, leads to weaker bones.

This completed observational study looked at boys aged 7-18 with moderate or severe hemophilia A in Canadian treatment centres. Researchers compared quality of life and caregiver burden between those receiving an intravenous factor replacement product and those on a subcutaneous …

This study looked at why people with hemophilia and damaged knee or ankle joints feel ongoing pain. Researchers measured pain sensitivity, fear of movement, and anxiety in 146 adults. The goal was to better understand central sensitization—a condition where the nervous system sta…

This study looked at how the COVID-19 lockdown changed the health habits and medical care of 1,343 people with chronic conditions like heart disease, multiple sclerosis, and hemophilia. Researchers used phone surveys to track medication use, lifestyle changes, and access to healt…

This completed study from Hacettepe University compared lung function, exercise capacity, posture, and physical activity levels between 34 children with hemophilia and healthy controls. Researchers used spirometry, cycling tests, and joint health scores to see if hemophilia affec…
