Does position after groin heart catheterization reduce pain?
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether the position you lie in after a heart catheterization through the groin can reduce pain, bleeding, and bruising. If you are scheduled for this procedure and are in generally good health, this trial may help find the most comfortable and safe way to recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a gentle foot massage after a heart catheterization (done through the groin) can reduce back pain and improve blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
This trial tests whether using a back support after a heart catheterization through the leg reduces discomfort. It may help you recover more comfortably after the procedure.
This trial tests whether early movement and exercise after a heart procedure (percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI) can help reduce back pain. If you recently had a PCI and are stable, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if applying an ice pack to the groin area after a heart stent procedure through the leg artery can reduce pain and improve recovery. It may help patients feel more comfortable after their procedure.
This study looks at the best time to give a standard blood thinner (heparin) during a heart procedure called angioplasty, which opens blocked heart arteries through a wrist artery. It may help reduce bleeding or clotting risks.
This study compares two ways doctors can reach the heart during a catheter procedure: through the wrist (radial) or the groin (femoral). It aims to reduce bleeding and access-site complications, especially when patients may need a balloon/stent (PCI).
