Detecting prostate cancer return after HIFU with advanced scans
This trial uses a special PET/MRI scan to check if prostate cancer has come back after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. It aims to find any remaining cancer early so doctors can plan next steps.
New York, New YorkAges 40–95 - NCT07179419Recruiting
Long-term effects of HIFU for rectal endometriosis
This study checks how well High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment works over time for people with rectal endometriosis. It's for those who already had HIFU in one of the earlier studies and want to help researchers understand long-term results.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07164105Recruiting
Using low-intensity ultrasound to treat PTSD in healthcare workers
This study tests whether a new non-invasive brain treatment called low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) can help reduce PTSD symptoms in healthcare workers. It aims to find out how the treatment works and if it is safe and effective.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18–65 - NCT07113665RecruitingPhase 1
Focused ultrasound brain treatment for severe anorexia

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for focused ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 113 recruiting focused ultrasound 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 focused ultrasound 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 focused ultrasound 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.
