Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT05317858RecruitingPhase 3
Open the brain’s blood barrier to treat lung cancer brain spots
This trial tests whether using focused ultrasound to temporarily open the brain’s blood barrier—plus standard immune therapy—can better treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. It aims to help medicines reach the brain tumor spots more effectively, while still using the usual lung cancer treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT01786590Recruiting
Ultrasound biopsy to stage lung cancer before SBRT
This trial looks at using a scope with an ultrasound tip (EBUS-TBNA) to take small tissue samples from lymph nodes to figure out the cancer stage before stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The goal is to help confirm how far the cancer has spread so SBRT can be planned appropriately.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07465510Recruiting
Ultrasound vs. other methods for double-lumen tube placement
This study compares three ways to check if a breathing tube is in the right spot during lung surgery: using ultrasound, listening with a stethoscope, or looking with a tiny camera. It aims to find which method works best and is safest.
Izmir, İzmirAges 18–65 - NCT06841822Recruiting
Nerve blocks for lung surgery: a study on heart function
This trial tests if a special ultrasound-guided nerve block can help keep your heart and blood pressure stable during the start of lung surgery. It may lead to a safer and more comfortable experience.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06601998Recruiting
Heart health after severe pneumonia
This study looks at how heart health changes in people who have recovered from severe pneumonia, including COVID-19. It compares survivors to healthy people and those with heart risk factors.
AlexandroupoliAges 18 years+ - NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 71 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.
