Early exercise rehab after hospital stay for pulmonary embolism
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows people who have had a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) to understand their health over time and improve future care. It does not test a new treatment but collects information to learn more about recovery.
This study looks at repeated scans and tests for people who have had a pulmonary embolism (PE) — a blood clot in the lungs. It aims to improve how doctors monitor recovery and decide on treatment.
This study compares two ways of following up after a non-severe pulmonary embolism: standard medical care alone versus intensive monitoring that includes an advanced practice nurse. The goal is to see if the nurse-led follow-up improves your recovery and quality of life.
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 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 follows people who had a serious blood clot in their lungs that also affected their heart's right side. It tests how their ability to walk and move changes over 6 months, helping doctors understand recovery better.
