Healthy living tips after a pulmonary embolism
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether healthy living tips and messages sent daily by text or email can help you recover better after a serious blood clot in your lung called a pulmonary embolism. It may be a good fit if you are already taking a blood thinner and can receive text messages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies a structured pulmonary (lung) rehabilitation program for people who still have breathing and activity problems after a pulmonary embolism (PE). It may help improve physical ability and function during recovery.
This study uses heart signals and blood tests to predict how well your heart will recover over a year after a pulmonary embolism. It may help doctors tailor your care based on your personal risk.
This study looks at whether pulmonary rehabilitation (a supervised exercise and support program for lung recovery) improves quality of life after a lung blood clot. It focuses on people who have ongoing breathing-related limits after treatment with blood thinners.
This study tests if starting a supervised exercise program early after a hospital stay for a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) helps patients recover better and feel less breathless. It is for people at higher risk of ongoing symptoms after their clot.
