If you take a direct oral anticoagulant (a daily blood thinner medication), you may need a needle EMG test to check your nerves and muscles. This study is checking whether the needle used in that test causes dangerous bleeding under the skin in people taking these blood thinners. About 30 minutes after your EMG, you'll have an ultrasound scan to see if any bleeding has occurred.
Doctors want to know if needle EMG is truly safe for patients on daily blood thinners. While this medication helps prevent clots elsewhere in your body, it might increase the risk of bleeding where the EMG needle goes into your muscles. This study will help doctors decide whether people on this medication need special precautions before having this common test.

You'll come in for a standard needle EMG test, which checks how well your nerves and muscles are working. About 30 minutes after the EMG is done, you'll have an ultrasound scan of the muscles where the needle was inserted—this is painless and just uses sound waves to look for any small bleeding pockets. The whole process takes just a short visit, and the study team will check with you to make sure you're doing well.
