Hemophilia patients try Cuff-Assisted exercise to ease pain and build strength
NCT ID NCT05568524
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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, pain, and quality of life. The goal was to find a safer way to exercise and reduce symptoms without causing bleeding.
