Ultrasound study of bleeding risk after EMG in patients on blood thinners
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check for bleeding after a needle EMG (a test for nerve and muscle problems) in people taking direct oral anticoagulants (blood thinners). It aims to see if it's safe to have the test while on this medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be taking a standard dose of a direct oral anticoagulant (like apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or dabigatran) daily.
- You cannot be taking any other blood thinners (like aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, heparin, or another direct oral anticoagulant).
- You must be willing and able to follow the study procedures.
- You must sign a consent form agreeing to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether having less muscle mass raises the risk of serious bleeding in older people who take apixaban or rivaroxaban. The study compares those who have had bleeding to those who haven't, to help doctors reduce future bleeding risks.
This study looks at how well blood thinners (anticoagulants) and inflammation markers work in people having heart or blood vessel procedures. It aims to better monitor these treatments to improve patient safety.
This study looks at whether a blood test called D-dimer can help predict bleeding in patients on ECMO, a machine that helps the heart or lungs. It aims to improve safety by monitoring this marker.
This trial looks at how often bleeding happens after an upper scope (EGD) or colonoscopy in people who keep taking blood-thinning medicines during the procedure. The results may help doctors choose safer prep plans to lower bleeding risk.
This study looks at how people doing well on certain blood thinners do when they have a stroke or bleeding while taking them. It will measure medication levels in your blood to understand stroke severity and recovery in the short and long term.
This study compares bleeding after common endoscopic procedures (like colonoscopy or upper endoscopy) between people who take blood thinners and those who don't. It may help doctors better understand risks for patients on anticoagulants.
