Recruiting studies
- NCT07251803Recruiting
GLP-1 medication stomach emptying study
This study uses an ultrasound to look at how full your stomach is after taking GLP-1 medications for diabetes or weight loss. It will help doctors understand if current fasting guidelines are safe before surgery or a colonoscopy.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06600035Recruiting
Stomach ultrasound before surgery for diabetics
This study uses an ultrasound to check if your stomach empties normally before elective surgery. It is designed for people with diabetes to help make surgery safer.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05674643Recruiting
Gastric testing during children’s surgery
This trial studies how the stomach is working in children around the time of surgery. It may help improve how doctors assess and manage stomach function to make surgery safer and more comfortable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–18 - NCT05728242Recruiting
Gastric ultrasound to guide anesthesia for fracture surgery
This trial studies using a bedside ultrasound scan of the stomach (“gastric ultrasound”) to help guide anesthesia decisions during surgery for traumatic fractures. It may help reduce stomach-related anesthesia risks in the operating room by better assessing stomach contents.
IstanbulAges 18–90 - NCT06643325Recruiting
Gastric emptying after traumatic injuries
This study looks at how quickly the stomach empties after a traumatic injury. It may help doctors understand digestion in injured patients.
WinterthurAges 18 years+ - NCT06595537Recruiting
Ultrasound check for feeding tube placement
This study uses an ultrasound of the stomach to see if a feeding tube is in the right place. It's for people who are on a breathing tube and need a stomach feeding tube.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07375680Recruiting
Blood sugar and stomach emptying study before surgery
This study uses a simple stomach ultrasound before surgery to see how fast your stomach empties. It compares that to your HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) to better understand how diabetes might affect digestion during anesthesia.
Kütahya, KütahyaAges 18–70 - NCT07407530Recruiting
Sipping fluids before planned c-section
This trial tests whether drinking small amounts of clear fluids up until surgery is safe for women having a planned c-section. It uses an ultrasound to check the stomach before the procedure.
Dublin, Ireland/County DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT02665923Recruiting
Testing stomach emptying after formula in babies
This study measures how quickly a baby’s stomach empties after formula feeding. It may help doctors better understand normal digestion timing in newborns and infants.
New York, New YorkAges Up to 1 year - NCT07140289Enrolling by invitation
GLP-1 drugs and stomach emptying before surgery
This study looks at how GLP-1 medications affect the time it takes for your stomach to empty before anesthesia. It may help doctors decide if you need to take special precautions before your surgery.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–90 - NCT07312890Recruiting
Ultrasound to check stomach fullness in ICU patients
This trial tests whether a bedside ultrasound can measure how full the stomach is in patients on a breathing machine who are receiving liquid nutrition through a tube. If it works, doctors may avoid complications and feed patients more safely.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT04130022Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound before anesthesia to reduce stomach risks
This trial studies using an ultrasound scan of the stomach before general anesthesia in children having planned (elective) surgery. The goal is to better understand stomach fullness and improve safety around anesthesia.
Columbus, OhioAges birth–18 years - NCT03520374Recruiting
Bedside ultrasound for stomach contents in children and adults
This trial studies how well a bedside ultrasound can show what is in the stomach. It may help doctors make safer plans around procedures done with anesthesia, especially in children.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 2–60 - NCT06581120Enrolling by invitation
Stomach ultrasound study for diabetes and obesity
This study uses ultrasound to see how GLP-1 RA medications (like Ozempic) affect the stomach in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors better understand how these medicines work.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–25 - NCT05526105Recruiting
Ultrasound for stomach fluid in ICU patients
This trial tests using an ultrasound scan to estimate stomach fluid and volume in ICU patients. It may help clinicians better assess aspiration risk and prepare for safe anesthesia or procedures.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18–100 - NCT07581691Recruiting
Ultrasound Stomach Checks Before Surgery in Children
This study tests whether ultrasound scans of the stomach before surgery help keep children safe during anesthesia. Researchers will measure how full the stomach is to make sure children are ready for surgery.
KayseriAges birth–18 years - NCT06666049Recruiting
Ultrasound test on the stomach before surgery in patients taking GLP-1 drugs
This trial uses a stomach ultrasound (called gastric POCUS) to check if your stomach is empty before surgery. It is for patients taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar) to help make sure it is safe to proceed with anesthesia.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–90 - NCT07482345Recruiting
Fasting strategies and anxiety in children having surgery
This study looks at whether different fasting instructions before surgery can help children be more comfortable and less anxious. It involves children having groin or penis surgery and will check their stomach with ultrasound to see how fasting affects them.
Bursa, BursaAges 2–12 - NCT04813055Recruiting
Registry study for ultrasound during therapeutic endoscopy
This study keeps a careful record (registry) of patients who need ultrasound-guided therapeutic endoscopy. It aims to learn how well and safely this ultrasound technique works during real-life procedures.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07482098Recruiting
Gastric ultrasound after drinking water in pregnant women
This trial checks how fast the stomach empties water before a planned C-section. It compares women with and without diabetes to see if there is any difference in stomach contents. This might help improve safety for future patients.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–40 - NCT06621706Recruiting
Gastric volume in diabetic vs. non-diabetic women before c-section
This study uses ultrasound to compare the amount of fluid in the stomach right before a planned cesarean section. It looks at women with diabetes and those without to see if there is a difference, which can help make anesthesia safer.
Banī Suwayf, Beni Suweif GovernorateAges 18–40 - NCT07230665Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two procedures for stomach blockage from cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat blockage at the end of the stomach caused by cancer: a stent (a small metal tube) or a newer endoscopic bypass. The goal is to see which works better for patients who cannot have surgery.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06543615Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound stomach check before surgery in sleeve gastrectomy patients
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much stomach content remains after fasting in people who have had sleeve gastrectomy surgery. It aims to understand if the standard 8-hour fasting period is enough for this group before other surgeries.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 21–45 - NCT06113861Recruiting
Better TB testing for kids in Bolivia
This trial tests new ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in children with breathing problems. It aims to make TB detection faster and more accurate for kids who might have the infection.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastric ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 30 recruiting gastric 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 gastric 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 gastric 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.
