Blood thinners for leg casts after injury
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a blood thinner (anticoagulant) pill can prevent dangerous blood clots in people who have a hard cast or brace on their leg after an injury. It compares two different blood thinners to see which works better.

This study tests a personalized approach to prevent blood clots in patients who have had surgery to repair blocked arteries in their legs. Researchers want to find the best blood-thinning medication for each individual to reduce serious complications while keeping you safe.
This trial tests whether giving medicine to prevent blood clots during varicose vein treatment is safe and helpful. It focuses on people having a minimally invasive procedure on enlarged leg veins under local anesthesia.
This Phase 3 trial compares the best “blood thinner” approach for people who have a new clot in the leg (DVT) or lung (PE) and who already take antiplatelet medicines for heart or blood-vessel prevention. It aims to find an antithrombotic plan that lowers clot risk while managing bleeding risk.
This trial compares two blood thinners (rivaroxaban pills versus LMWH shots) to see which is better at preventing blood clots in people with leg injuries that require a cast or brace. If you qualify, you can receive one of these treatments while your leg heals.
This study looks at a simple checklist to see who is at risk for blood clots after a leg injury that requires a cast or brace. It also checks how well people follow blood-thinning medication to prevent these clots.
This study compares two ways to lower the risk of blood clots in people who had hip surgery and also had a slight heart injury. You will receive either a standard blood thinner (rivaroxaban) plus aspirin, or just aspirin alone, to see which works better without extra risk.
