3D ultrasound to check ankle bleeds in hemophilia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a 3D ultrasound can better see and check ankle joint bleeding in people with hemophilia or other bleeding disorders. It may help doctors find and treat ankle bleeds more quickly, which could protect the joint.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with hemophilia A or B, or another bleeding disorder.
- You have had a joint bleed in your ankle before, or your doctor thinks you might be having one now.
- You are able to have an MRI (no implants or devices that are not MRI-safe).
- You can cooperate during a 3D ultrasound scan.
- You do not have other long-term illnesses that affect your bones or joints.

This study checks if two simple walking and balance tests are reliable for people with hemophilia who have had joint bleeds. It may help doctors better track joint health and function.
This study uses ultrasound to check if joints that are currently healthy stay healthy in people with hemophilia A who are taking emicizumab (Hemlibra) as their regular treatment. It aims to see if this treatment helps prevent joint damage over time.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the knee joints of adults with hemophilia who have had repeated knee bleeds. It aims to understand how the joint is affected, which could help guide better care.
This study tests whether special knee-strengthening exercises using a machine can improve how well boys with hemophilia can use their affected knee. The goal is to see if these exercises help with daily activities and reduce joint problems.
This study uses ultrasound to check the health of your joints. It aims to see if people with mild hemophilia have joint problems even without frequent bleeding, which could help guide future treatment.
This study uses ultrasound to check if thickened joint lining (synovium) in people with severe hemophilia is a sign of active inflammation or just a harmless leftover. It may help doctors decide whether to treat or watch these joints.
