Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This trial tests whether applying cold packs to the wrist after transradial coronary angiography reduces pain, bruising, and discomfort. About 104 adults who had this heart procedure will be randomly assigned to receive either cold packs or standard care. Researchers will measure pain, bruising, and comfort levels, and see if cold application shortens the time the pressure band stays on.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cold packs applied to the wrist after transradial coronary angiography
What this could lead to
If cold packs work, they could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce pain and bruising and improve comfort after this common heart procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial, so results may not apply broadly. Cold application might not significantly change outcomes, and there is a small risk of skin damage from cold.
