Ultrasound for detecting baker's cysts in suspected deep vein thrombosis
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a focused ultrasound of the back of the knee can accurately detect Baker's cysts (a benign fluid-filled sac) in people who have symptoms that might suggest a blood clot. It aims to improve diagnosis and avoid unnecessary treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have symptoms of a blood clot in your leg (such as pain, swelling, or warmth).
- You must not have been in this study before.
- You must not have already had the D-dimer test or ultrasound for this current suspicion.

This study is testing a new D-dimer blood test (AQT90 FLEX) to see how well it detects blood clots in people who have symptoms but a low to moderate risk. If you join, this test may help rule out dangerous clots more quickly.
This study looks at whether a certain ultrasound method can safely check for deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the leg) when the clot seems less likely. It may help doctors decide faster and avoid unnecessary testing in some people.
This study uses a device that gently presses on your calf to check blood flow in leg veins, along with an ultrasound you already had. It may help doctors better understand vein blockages.
This trial uses a bedside ultrasound to quickly diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and help guide treatment. It may help patients who have symptoms like leg swelling or pain.
This study collects ultrasound images from people who need a DVT test. The goal is to create a data set for research that may improve how DVT is diagnosed.
This study focuses on diagnosing deep-vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clots in the leg) early in people who are very ill in the ICU. It aims to test an approach to better detect clots sooner, which could help prevent complications.
