Abdominal tourniquet for severe postpartum bleeding
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a temporary abdominal tourniquet to stop heavy bleeding after childbirth when standard treatments aren't working. It might help women with severe blood loss avoid more invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are bleeding heavily after childbirth
- Standard medicines and a balloon treatment have not stopped the bleeding

This study looks at a vacuum-based device to help stop severe bleeding after delivery (postpartum hemorrhage), especially when the uterus is not tightening. It may help women who have ongoing bleeding despite standard first medicines to reduce bleeding.
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) can prevent heavy bleeding after delivery in women who are at higher risk. If it works, it may lower the chance of serious postpartum bleeding and related complications.
This trial compares two methods to stop heavy bleeding in the uterus after vaginal delivery: inflating a special balloon inside the uterus versus packing it with medicated gauze. Both are emergency treatments, and the study tests which works better and faster.
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid can prevent heavy bleeding after a planned or urgent cesarean delivery in people with placenta previa. If you qualify, you may receive the study drug to help your body keep blood loss lower during and after surgery.
This trial tests a special belt device (AAJT-S) to stop severe bleeding from the lower body in emergency situations. It may help patients with life-threatening injuries before or upon arriving at the hospital.
This trial tests a special belt (AAJT-S) that is wrapped around the belly to stop severe bleeding from the lower body (like from a bad car crash or fall). It's for people who are bleeding so much that their body is not getting enough blood, and it aims to buy time until surgery.
