Blood flow check for leg vein blockages with gentle pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a device that gently presses on your calf to check blood flow in leg veins, along with an ultrasound you already had. It may help doctors better understand vein blockages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had an ultrasound of one or both legs to look for a blood clot in the past 72 hours.
- The leg that was ultrasounded is not covered by bandages, cast, or wound that would prevent pressing on it.
- You have no leg injury, fracture, amputation, or other condition that makes calf compression unsafe.
- You are able to give your written permission (consent) to participate.

This study looks at whether a certain ultrasound method can safely check for deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the leg) when the clot seems less likely. It may help doctors decide faster and avoid unnecessary testing in some people.
This study focuses on diagnosing deep-vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clots in the leg) early in people who are very ill in the ICU. It aims to test an approach to better detect clots sooner, which could help prevent complications.
This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in the legs of people with PAD symptoms and healthy volunteers. It aims to improve how doctors assess peripheral arterial disease without invasive tests.
This study looks at how many people with blood clots in their leg veins also have narrowing in their leg arteries. It uses an ultrasound test to check both conditions.
This trial tests a new camera that uses light to check blood flow in your legs. It compares the camera's results to standard tests like ABI and Doppler ultrasound to see if it works as well.
This study tests a new, non-invasive skin sensor that uses electrical currents to see how well clot-busting medication is working in people with deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the leg). The goal is to make monitoring easier and more comfortable.
