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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05678062Recruiting
Ultrasound checks for seizures in preeclampsia
This study looks at using a quick ultrasound at the bedside to find possible causes or warning signs in people with preeclampsia who develop new seizures. It may help clinicians recognize problems sooner and guide safer treatment.
Cape Town, Western CapeAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT06524622Recruiting
Ultrasound and pressure test for sepsis in the ICU
This study tests whether a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) combined with a standard pressure measurement (CVP) can better predict outcomes for people with sepsis in the ICU. The goal is to see if these tools help doctors make better treatment decisions.
Yibin, SichuanAges 18–100 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07677553Recruiting
Ultrasound training trial for doctors in Syria
This trial trains doctors in conflict-affected Syria to use portable ultrasound at the point of care. It aims to see if learning and remote quality checks can help them diagnose patients better in their communities.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - 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+ - 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 - NCT07462351Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for point-of-care ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 26 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.
