Recruiting studies
- NCT07800962Enrolling by invitation
Comparing bedside heart ultrasound to standard echocardiography
This study looks at whether a quick ultrasound done at the bedside (point-of-care) can give similar information to a full echocardiogram. Participants must be adults having both tests within 24 hours of each other, and their medical data must be available for research.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07798427Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound-guided IV placement study
This study compares two ways to place an IV (a small tube that gives you medicine or fluids through a vein). One method uses ultrasound to find the best vein, the other uses the traditional method. It aims to see if ultrasound helps make IV placement easier and more successful.
New York, New YorkAges 12 years+ - NCT07711821Recruiting
Heart failure screening in primary care for older adults
This trial is testing a simple screening tool to find early signs of heart failure in people aged 50 or older, especially those with risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure. If you're at risk, this could help catch heart problems sooner.

Expert Panel Study on Ultrasound Assessment of Septic Shock
This study gathers expert opinions from critical care doctors and specialists around the world who use bedside ultrasound (a portable imaging tool) to diagnose and categorize septic shock (a life-threatening infection condition). The goal is to develop standardized approaches to identifying different types of septic shock using ultrasound.
Albany, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07580456Recruiting
Testing AI to Read Stomach Ultrasounds Accurately
This study helps researchers train artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret ultrasound images of the stomach. You'll receive a light meal and have a quick ultrasound scan; your images help improve AI technology that doctors may use in the future.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07556341Recruiting
Ultrasound Imaging at Free Clinics in Indianapolis
This study tests whether quick ultrasound imaging (a safe, painless scanning tool) can help doctors better diagnose and treat patients at free clinics in Indianapolis. Researchers want to see if point-of-care ultrasound—performed right in the clinic—improves care for patients without insurance or regular doctors.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07549880Recruiting
Ultrasound to detect infections after abdominal surgery
This study tests whether bedside ultrasound—a simple imaging tool used at your hospital bed—can help doctors spot surgical infections early after abdominal surgery. Catching infections sooner might help you recover faster and avoid serious complications.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07429344Recruiting
Ultrasound test to spot elbow fractures in kids 5-15
This trial checks if a simple bedside ultrasound can safely rule out fractures in children and teens who hurt their elbow. It aims to reduce unnecessary X-rays and stress for young patients and their families.
AmbergAges 5–15 - NCT07420400Recruiting
Detecting heart shunts without needles
This trial uses a specialized ultrasound test (TEE with bubble study) to find a small opening in the heart called a PFO. It may help people who need this test to check for causes of certain health problems.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07324980Recruiting
Ultrasound for breathing trouble in the ER
This study tests if a quick ultrasound can help doctors figure out why you are having trouble breathing when you come to the emergency room. It may lead to faster and more accurate care.
NovaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06602856Recruiting
Ultrasound in Swiss air rescue
Researchers are looking at how Rega rescue teams use a portable ultrasound device (POCUS) in emergencies. If you were treated by Rega and they used this device, your data could help improve emergency care.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07159269Recruiting
Cardiac ultrasound training for emergency department providers
This study teaches nurse practitioners and physician assistants in the emergency department how to use a special type of heart ultrasound (called cardiac point-of-care ultrasound). The goal is to help these providers quickly and accurately check the heart at the bedside.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06960837Recruiting
Ultrasound workshop for emergency doctors
This trial tests a hands-on ultrasound training workshop for emergency medicine physicians. It aims to improve their skills using simulation cases.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06749145Enrolling by invitation
Using deep learning to find aortic stenosis earlier
This study tests if a deep learning tool can help detect aortic stenosis, a heart valve condition, in older adults during routine primary care visits. If you are 70 or older and have not had a recent echocardiogram, you may be able to join.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 70 years+ - NCT06406725Recruiting
Detecting vocal cord issues with noninvasive breathing test
This study tests whether a noninvasive breathing support device can detect vocal cord movement problems in children who had heart or airway surgery. It may avoid the need for a scope test.
Queens, New YorkAges 1 day–18 years - NCT04876157Recruiting
AI helps read heart and kidney ultrasound images
This trial tests an artificial-intelligence (computer) tool that helps interpret ultrasound pictures taken at the bedside. It may help clinicians understand heart or kidney ultrasound scans more quickly and consistently.
Taipei, None SelectedAges 20 years+ - NCT05561842Recruiting
Mobile ultrasound tablet test for breast cancer diagnosis in Nigeria
This study tests a tablet-based ultrasound (a scan using sound waves) to help identify breast lumps that look like cancer. If your lump looks suspicious, the scan result is intended to guide next steps like biopsy or surgical removal at the hospital.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05900440Enrolling by invitation
AI tool for learning point-of-care ultrasound
This trial looks at using an artificial intelligence (AI) aid to help internal medicine residents learn how to use point-of-care ultrasound during hospital rotations. It may help you practice faster and improve your ultrasound skills in real-world settings.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05050617Recruiting
Ultrasound in the ER to predict risks in pulmonary embolism
This trial checks whether a bedside ultrasound done in the emergency room can help predict which people with an acute pulmonary embolism are more likely to have bad outcomes. If you qualify, your care team will compare ultrasound findings with your later results to see if it can guide treatment decisions sooner.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04501419Recruiting
Mobile ultrasound test to help diagnose breast cancer
This study checks whether a tablet-based ultrasound can find breast lumps that look suspicious for cancer. If it works well, it could help diagnose breast cancer faster in Nigeria where patients may need a biopsy or surgery next.
Ile-IfeAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for point-of-care ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 22 recruiting point-of-care 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 point-of-care 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 point-of-care 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.
