Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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.
DakarAges 2 months–12 years - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT07514481Recruiting
Lung ultrasound comparison of two surfactant delivery methods in preterm babies
This study compares two ways of giving surfactant (a lung-coating medicine) to newborns with breathing trouble: LISA (a gentler, less invasive method) versus traditional breathing tube delivery. Researchers will use ultrasound to see how the medicine spreads in each baby's lungs to find the best approach.
DohaAges 6 months–10 months - NCT07609615Recruiting
Pneumoperitoneum pressure and lung changes during gallbladder surgery
This study examines how different air pressures used during minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery affect the lungs. Researchers will use ultrasound to monitor lung changes and help improve surgery safety.
İzmit, KocaeliAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT06919757Recruiting
Early Lung Health in Very Premature Infants
This study compares the early lung development of very premature babies who had growth problems in the womb to those who did not. The goal is to understand how growth in the womb affects lung health after birth.
RomaAges Any age - NCT07745881Recruiting
Pain relief after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a nerve block that may reduce pain after surgery for lung cancer. It's a technique that numbs a specific area in the back to help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06775821Recruiting
Lung cancer and abdominal aneurysm screening study
This study looks at how common abdominal aortic aneurysms (bulges in the belly's main artery) are in people with primary lung cancer. It involves a simple imaging test to check for this condition.
Kunming, YunnanAges 20–90 - NCT07040618Recruiting
Pain block comparison for lung cancer surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (rhomboid intercostal and erector spinae) to see which one provides better pain relief after lung cancer surgery. The goal is to find which block helps you recover more comfortably.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06770179Enrolling by invitation
Lung breathing maneuver for kids during surgery
This study tests a special breathing maneuver (ultrasound-guided lung recruitment) during surgery to see if it helps prevent small areas of lung collapse in children. It may help kids with longer surgeries keep their lungs open and working better afterward.
IstanbulAges 1–14 - NCT04989439Recruiting
Compare three lung tests in infants getting CT scans
This trial compares three ways to look at a baby’s lungs—CT scan, electrical impedance (a painless sensor belt), and ultrasound—using babies who are already scheduled for a CT scan. It may help find safer, more bedside-friendly lung monitoring in young infants.
ViennaAges Up to 1 year - NCT06807983Recruiting
Lung and heart ultrasound for breathing trouble in older adults
This trial tests whether using lung and heart ultrasound (LuCUS) can help emergency doctors better diagnose and treat shortness of breath in patients over 65. It aims to improve care for older adults with severe breathing problems.
ToulouseAges 65 years+ - NCT06105801RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two biopsy methods for lung cancer genetic testing
This study compares two ways to get a larger tissue sample from lymph nodes in the chest after a first small test confirmed cancer. The goal is to see which method provides better material for detailed genetic testing (next generation sequencing) that can guide treatment choices.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06824506Recruiting
Ultrasound for lung issues after low-flow anesthesia
This trial tests if using ultrasound to check the lungs during low-flow anesthesia can help prevent breathing problems after gallbladder surgery. It may help doctors spot lung issues earlier and adjust care.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT04852588Recruiting
Sample chest lymph nodes during treatment for advanced lung cancer
This study checks lymph nodes in the chest (using a camera-guided test) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are getting curative-intent radiation. The trial may help doctors better confirm how far the cancer has spread and guide the best radiation treatment plan.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06377449Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for better outcomes after heart surgery
This study tests whether using ultrasound to look at the lungs during and after heart surgery helps improve recovery. You may be eligible if you are having open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and meet certain health criteria.
Saint Petersburg, Sankt-PeterburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06521502Recruiting
Studying inflammation in the heart and lungs in the ICU
This study collects blood samples from people in the ICU with sudden heart or lung problems caused by inflammation. The goal is to learn more about these conditions and improve future treatments.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06128681Recruiting
Diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal problems
This study tests a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating problems in the mediastinum (the space between your lungs). It uses a bronchoscopy (a camera through the airway) to take a biopsy and possibly treat the area, all while you are under general anesthesia.
TianjinAges 18–80 - NCT06921681Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided biopsy of chest lymph nodes
This trial uses a special ultrasound-guided procedure to take tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in the chest. It aims to improve diagnosis for people who already need a bronchoscopy.
BaselAges 18–90 - NCT07060378Recruiting
Contrast Dye for Better Lung Biopsy
This trial tests whether using a special contrast dye during an ultrasound-guided biopsy (EBUS) makes it easier to see and sample lung tumors or swollen lymph nodes. It may help doctors get more accurate tissue samples with fewer tries.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT07258875Recruiting
Using ultrasound to guide fluids during lung surgery
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 78 recruiting lung 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 lung 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 lung 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.
