Blood clots and pain after major arm or leg injuries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have had serious arm or leg injuries to see how often they get blood clots and how much pain they feel over time. It may help doctors understand and treat these problems better after major limb trauma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have a serious injury to an arm or leg.
- You must have had surgery or had the injured limb kept still (with a cast, splint, or similar) for at least 3 days.
- You must be enrolled in the study within 3 days of being admitted to the hospital.
- You should not have had long-term pain before the injury that is unrelated to the injury.
- You should not have been on blood-thinning medication (like warfarin or heparin) before the injury.

This study looks at whether using a tourniquet (a tight band to stop severe bleeding) after a serious arm or leg injury is linked to developing long-term pain. If you had such an injury and a tourniquet was used, doctors want to learn more to improve future care and pain management.
This study is looking for people with combat-related arm or leg injuries to see if how they move can predict long-term pain. Researchers hope to better understand who might develop chronic pain and help improve treatment.
This study looks at whether a wound treatment called negative pressure wound therapy (a vacuum device that helps wounds heal) can predict if someone will have long-term pain after a war-related injury. It aims to help doctors better manage pain for people with these injuries.
This study looks at how pain develops after a serious injury involving multiple body areas and at least one broken limb. It aims to find out what factors predict long-term chronic pain, which could help improve future care.
This study tests different ways to manage pain after a leg amputation caused by a combat injury. It aims to find the best method to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study looks at how the size and location of a first-time leg blood clot affects the risk of long-term problems like chronic pain or swelling. You may join if you have a new, symptomatic clot in one leg and haven't had one before.
