DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

This study tested a medical device (Ceragem Master V6) to see if it can improve blood circulation in people at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and in healthy individuals. 59 adults without current DVT used the device once, and researchers measured changes in blood flow speed …

This study tested a device called CGM MB-1701 to see if it can improve blood flow in people at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition where blood clots form in the legs. Sixty adults who did not have DVT at the start used the device, and researchers measured changes in …

This study tested whether a low dose of the blood thinner apixaban (2.5 mg twice daily) can safely prevent blood clots from coming back in people who already had a clot triggered by a temporary risk factor (like surgery or injury) but still have ongoing risks (like obesity or lim…

This study tested a mobile app called ThinkSono Guidance that helps healthcare workers like nurses perform ultrasound scans to detect blood clots in the legs. Over 600 adults with symptoms of deep vein thrombosis took part. The app guided non-specialists to get good-quality image…

This study tested a new way to safely rule out a second deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the same leg. Doctors used a special ultrasound (color Doppler) and a D-Dimer blood test to decide if a clot was new or old. 466 adults with a past DVT and new symptoms were followed for 3 month…

This study looked at whether starting physiotherapy early is possible and helpful for people hospitalized with a first-time deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the leg. Twenty-four adults took part, and researchers measured how many joined, how many dropped out, and if any side effects…

This study looked at 744 people who had a blood clot before to see if doctors can better predict when another clot will happen. Researchers tested three common tools that use symptoms and medical history to decide if more tests are needed. The goal is to avoid missing dangerous c…

This study tested whether ultrasound can better confirm if a deep vein blood clot has returned. Researchers followed 18 patients with a history of clots to see if early ultrasound signs of recurrence were accurate. The goal is to reduce false alarms and avoid unnecessary blood-th…

This study looked at how well the Wells score, a tool doctors use to predict deep vein thrombosis (blood clots), works for patients already in the hospital. Researchers compared the score's accuracy between patients who were and were not on blood thinners. The goal was to improve…

This study looked at how primary care doctors use genetic test results to decide on the right dose of a blood-thinner drug (warfarin) for virtual patients of different races and backgrounds. Nearly 200 doctors took part in a 60-minute virtual reality session. The goal was to unde…

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

This study tested a computer tool called DOACT that helps doctors choose the right blood thinner for patients with blood clots in the legs or lungs. Doctors and AI models answered questions about fake patient cases, with and without the tool. The goal was to see if the tool impro…
