Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if a nurse-led program (early movement, leg-sleeve squeezes, and blood tests) can prevent dangerous leg blood clots in adults who have just had brain or spine surgery. Main questions it aims to answer: * Does the program lower the number of clots within 30 days after surgery? * Is the program safer and more accurate than the usual clot-risk score nurses already use? Researchers will compare patients who receive the nurse-led program with patients who receive standard hospital care. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. * Have regular leg ultrasounds to check for clots. * Wear a small activity tracker if they are in the nurse-led group.
