Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06983366Recruiting
Lung sliding index for diagnosing lung conditions
This study uses an ultrasound-based measurement called the Lung Sliding Index to help tell different lung diseases apart. Researchers want to see if it can be a useful and simple tool for doctors.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT06975189RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing radiation in preterm baby lung scans
This trial tests whether using ultrasound instead of X-rays for lung imaging can safely reduce radiation exposure in very premature babies. If your baby needs lung imaging, they may be able to join.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges Up to 1 day - NCT07345156Recruiting
Congestion and lactate at discharge in heart failure
This trial studies a simple test (lung ultrasound and a blood test for lactate) done right before you leave the hospital for heart failure. It aims to see if these tests help doctors know how well you are recovering and if you might need extra care after discharge.
Monastir, Monastir GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06412081Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide physical therapy for breathing problems
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help guide physical therapy for hospitalized patients with new breathing problems. It aims to make therapy safer and more effective by seeing how the lungs look in real time.
Brussels, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT06555757Recruiting
Using AI and sound to predict heart failure worsening
This trial uses a smartphone app to record sounds from your chest and breathing. An AI system will analyze these sound patterns to predict when heart failure symptoms might get worse, so you can get help sooner.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06533371Recruiting
Ultrasound for emphysema in COPD and lung cancer
This study uses ultrasound (a safe, painless sound wave test) to check for emphysema (damaged air sacs in the lungs) in people with COPD or those being screened for lung cancer. It aims to see if ultrasound can replace the need for CT scans.
Acquaviva delle FontiAges 18 years+ - NCT06971042Recruiting
Using lung ultrasound to find ARDS early in ventilated patients
This study compares lung ultrasound with CT scans to detect ARDS (a serious lung injury) early in patients on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if ultrasound can provide a faster, safer way to diagnose ARDS.
TantaAges 22–80 - NCT06950515Recruiting
Anesthesia vs sedation for lung nodule biopsy
This trial compares general anesthesia with conscious sedation during a special ultrasound-guided lung biopsy. It aims to find which approach is safer and more comfortable for diagnosing small lung lesions.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06848738Enrolling by invitation
Faster biopsy for lung cancer or lymphoma near the esophagus
This trial tests a faster way to get a tissue sample from lung cancer or lymphoma tumors that are near the esophagus or stomach. The goal is to start your treatment sooner by using a special ultrasound scope to do a biopsy right away.
NæstvedAges 18 years+ - NCT06786728Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound-guided fluid removal for kidney recovery in heart-kidney syndrome
This study tests if using ultrasound scans to guide fluid removal helps protect kidney function in people with cardiorenal syndrome type 1, where heart failure suddenly worsens kidney function.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06670833Recruiting
Tools to improve childhood pneumonia care
This trial tests new tools to help doctors diagnose and manage pneumonia in children. It may help children with cough or trouble breathing who are not severely ill.
Dakar, DakarAges 2 months–12 years - NCT06113861Recruiting
