Recruiting studies
- NCT04343443Recruiting
Test whether a lung ultrasound helps discharge planning after heart failure
This study looks at people hospitalized for worsening heart failure with weaker pumping (reduced ejection fraction). It tests whether a lung ultrasound evaluation near discharge can improve how doctors decide it is safe to send you home.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04332692Recruiting
Check if a lung ultrasound helps evaluate discharge after heart failure
This study looks at whether doing lung ultrasounds can better assess people right before they leave the hospital after an acute heart failure flare. It may help doctors decide when someone is ready for discharge and tailor care to reduce risk after leaving.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04343430Recruiting
Hospital study for fluid buildup in heart failure with preserved heart function
This study looks at how well doctors can assess fluid buildup before you leave the hospital if you have a type of heart failure called “preserved ejection fraction.” It may help improve decisions about when and how safely people are discharged.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05097898Recruiting
Check fluid buildup in heart failure with normal pumping
This study evaluates how well doctors can assess “fluid congestion” in people with chronic heart failure where the heart’s squeezing is still preserved. It may help improve how patients are monitored during hospital visits.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05089149Recruiting
Check how lung ultrasound helps manage heart failure congestion
This study looks at people with long-term worsening heart failure who are coming to the hospital for a planned visit, to see how checking “congestion” (fluid buildup) may guide care. It may help the team understand whether lung ultrasound can better assess who needs treatment changes.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06226909Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided biopsy for lung lining disease
This study tests whether a special ultrasound technique (shear-wave elastography) can help guide biopsies to get better samples from the lining around your lungs. It may be an option if you have a build-up of fluid or thickening in that area.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07744789Recruiting
Knee ligament stiffness and osteoarthritis treatment
This study looks at how knee ligament stiffness changes in people with knee osteoarthritis and compares it to healthy volunteers. It may help find better ways to treat knee pain and stiffness.
Taipei, Taipei CityAges 20 years+ - NCT07737340Recruiting
Metabolic liver disease in new HIV patients
This study looks at liver health in people newly diagnosed with HIV, before they start HIV treatment. It aims to understand early changes in the liver related to metabolism.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT03376425Recruiting
Shear-wave ultrasound test for lung tumors
This trial looks back at people with lung tumors to see how well a special ultrasound measurement (shear-wave elastography) can identify or characterize tumors in the lungs. It may help improve noninvasive imaging in the future.
TaipeiAges 20–100 - NCT07632677Recruiting
Testing a liver inflammation score in diabetes and fatty liver
This study tests whether a new scoring method can help doctors identify liver inflammation in patients who have both type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver. The goal is to find an easier, safer way to assess liver health without invasive procedures.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06777017Recruiting
Can liver stiffness predict cancer return after ablation?
This trial studies if measuring liver and spleen stiffness can help predict the risk of liver cancer coming back after radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a treatment that uses heat to destroy tumors. It aims to improve follow-up care for people with chronic liver disease and early-stage liver cancer.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07476703Recruiting
Extended study on the SCAPIS Stockholm reexamined group
This trial studies data and samples from people already taking part in the main SCAPIS reexamination study in Stockholm. It looks for new findings to help understand heart and lung health.
StockholmAges 56–74 - NCT07400367Recruiting
Probiotics and lifestyle changes for fatty liver disease
This trial tests whether taking probiotics plus making lifestyle changes can improve fatty liver and metabolic health. You may qualify if you have liver fat and at least one sign of metabolic problems like high blood sugar or high blood pressure.
New Taipei CityAges 18–80 - NCT06867419Recruiting
Metabolic effects on fatty liver disease score
This study looks at how certain features of your metabolism affect a simple score (called the FAST score) in people with fatty liver disease (MASLD). It aims to help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
Tanta, GharbyeaAges 18 years+ - NCT07278570Recruiting
Tracking muscle stiffness with MRI during hands-on therapy for low back pain
This study uses a special MRI scan to see if hands-on therapy (manual therapy) helps reduce muscle stiffness and pain in people with chronic low back pain. It aims to find a better way to measure how well this treatment works.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07274657Recruiting
New ultrasound methods for diagnosing pancreatic tumors
This study tests two new ultrasound techniques to better tell apart pancreatic cancer from other solid growths in the pancreas. If you have a solid pancreas mass, the results could help doctors choose the most appropriate treatment without unnecessary surgery.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT01757730Recruiting
MRI test to measure soft tissue stiffness
This trial uses a special type of MRI to estimate how stiff certain soft tissues are in the body. You may benefit by helping doctors better measure tissue stiffness, which can relate to different health problems.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02387255Recruiting
MRI test for abdominal aortic aneurysms using a pressure-sound scan
This trial uses a special MRI scan called magnetic resonance elastography to study abdominal aortic aneurysms. It may help doctors better measure and understand how the aneurysm tissue behaves.
Columbus, OhioAges 20 years+ - NCT06924125Recruiting
Natural history study for LAMA2 muscular dystrophy
This study follows people with LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy over time to better understand the condition. It may help with future treatments by learning more about how the disease progresses.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges birth–100 years - NCT06933407Recruiting
Elasticity check of tissue under the urethra in women
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to compare the stiffness of tissue under the urethra in women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) vs. continent women. It aims to help understand the role of tissue support in incontinence.
SzegedAges 18–99 - NCT07122622Recruiting
Spleen stiffness test to check for dangerous veins in the liver
This trial uses a non-invasive ultrasound test to measure spleen stiffness, which may help find problems with blood pressure in the liver and identify enlarged veins that can bleed. It could help avoid more invasive tests.
Roma, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT02206841Recruiting
Study to confirm fatty liver and build fibrosis test markers
This study enrolls people with confirmed fatty liver to help researchers create and validate tests that may estimate liver scarring (fibrosis). It focuses on collecting medical information and verifying the liver condition using lab/scan results, which could help improve future care.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06208397Recruiting
MRI study to understand liver tumor growth patterns
This trial uses MRI scans to study how colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver grows. It may help doctors choose better treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for elastography?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 76 recruiting elastography studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a elastography trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a elastography trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
