Simple nurse-led plan may stop deadly clots after neurosurgery
NCT ID NCT07330661
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed trial tested whether a nurse-led program of early movement, leg-sleeve squeezes, and blood tests could prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in adults after brain or spine surgery. Over 1,200 participants were randomly assigned to either the nurse-led program or standard hospital care. The goal was to see if the program lowers the number of clots within 30 days after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
nurse-led program (early movement, leg-sleeve squeezes, and blood tests)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give hospitals a simple, low-cost way to prevent blood clots after neurosurgery, reducing complications and saving lives.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial, but results are not yet widely known. The program may not reduce clots significantly more than standard care, and the findings may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.
