Ultrasound to reveal hidden bleeding after EMG in blood thinner users
NCT ID NCT07166302
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is checking whether a common nerve test called needle EMG causes muscle bleeding in people taking blood thinners (DOACs). About 30 minutes after the test, researchers will use ultrasound to look for any small bleeds in the muscles where the needle went in. The goal is to find out if the procedure is safe for this group. 70 adults on DOACs are being recruited.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could show that needle EMG is safe for people on blood thinners, helping doctors avoid unnecessary precautions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study (70 people) that only looks for bleeding right after the procedure. It cannot prove long-term safety or apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects must understand the nature of the study and must provide signed and dated written informed consent prior to conducting any study-related procedures * Willing and able to comply with all protocol procedures * subjects confirmed the daily (and recent) intake od direct anticoagulants in strandard dosing. * no other antitrombotic drug therapy (e.g. acetylsalicyl acid, clopidogrel, ticagralol, low molecular weight heparin or second direct anticoagulant) is taken. Exclusion Criteria: * Any clinically significant medical or psychiatric condition or medical history that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the study or increase the risk of participation for that subject * other antitrombotic drug therapy (e.g. acetylsalicyl acid, clopidogrel, ticagralol, low molecular weight heparin or second direct anticoagulant) is recently taken.
