Recruiting studies
- NCT05723107RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an endoscopic treatment for pancreatic cancer that can't be removed

It may help some people who have already tried first chemotherapy and still have a tumor confined to the pancreas area (no spread).
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05865327Recruiting
Nerve freezing for rib-fracture pain using ultrasound guidance
This trial tests whether freezing a specific nerve (a “cryoneurolysis” treatment) through a catheter can better control pain from traumatic rib fractures. It’s offered to adults who have rib fractures soon after hospital admission and can use a pain control method called patient-controlled regional analgesia.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–100 - NCT05893511RecruitingPhase 3
EUS drainage versus antibiotics for high-risk gallbladder inflammation
This Phase 3 study compares two approaches for people with gallstone-related acute gallbladder inflammation: a procedure called EUS drainage versus antibiotic treatment alone. It may help you avoid early surgery if you are considered high risk for immediate gallbladder removal.
Hong Kong, HONG KONGAges 18 years+ - NCT05991856Recruiting
Comparing ablation vs. surgery for adrenal tumors causing high blood pressure
This trial compares two treatments—ultrasound-guided ablation and laparoscopic adrenalectomy—for a type of adrenal tumor called aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) that causes high blood pressure and low potassium. The goal is to see which treatment works better for patients with a single, non-cancerous tumor.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06045013RecruitingPhase 3
Dextrose injection vs. dextrose with steroid for carpal tunnel
This study tests whether adding a common steroid (methylprednisolone) to a dextrose (sugar water) injection works better than dextrose alone for carpal tunnel syndrome. Both treatments are injected into the wrist to reduce pain and numbness.
KninAges 18–80 - NCT06107361Recruiting
Guidewire use for ultrasound-guided IVs
This trial tests whether using a special guidewire during ultrasound-guided IV placement helps the IV last longer. It may be a good option if you have hard-to-find veins and need an IV.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 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 - NCT06212453RecruitingPhase 2
Ultrasound-guided heat therapy for enlarged prostate
This trial tests a new, less invasive treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH) that uses ultrasound and heat to shrink the part of the prostate blocking urine flow. It aims to improve urinary symptoms and avoid the need for more invasive surgery.
ParisAges 40 years+ - NCT06296472Recruiting
Comparing hand therapy for De Quervain's disease after steroid injection
This trial compares two types of hand therapy for patients with De Quervain's disease, a painful condition affecting the thumb tendons. One group receives standard hand therapy, while the other gets a new approach after an ultrasound-guided steroid injection.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06316895Recruiting
Thermal ablation for small, low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is studying a treatment called thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer cells) for people with small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It aims to see how well it works and to predict outcomes.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07695935Recruiting
Pain relief after hernia repair: nerve block vs low-dose morphine
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair: a nerve block (injection near the abdominal muscles) versus a low-dose painkiller (morphine) given through the spinal needle. The goal is to find which method provides better relief with fewer side effects.
ÇorumAges 18–80 - NCT06330688Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage study
This study tests a specific technique for draining the gallbladder using ultrasound guidance. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective for people who need this procedure.
Chaïdári, AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT06440070Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided needle thread release for carpal tunnel
This trial tests a new, less invasive way to release the tight ligament in the wrist that causes carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses ultrasound to guide a curved needle and thread to cut the ligament, which may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–70 - NCT06452147Recruiting
Anesthesia and brain health after hip surgery in older adults
This trial is testing different types of anesthesia to see how they affect brain function (memory, thinking) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to find the safest approach for elderly patients.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 65 years+ - NCT06488183Recruiting
Pain relief study for laparoscopic weight loss surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic bariatric surgery: one method involves numbing medicine placed near the surgery site, and the other uses an ultrasound-guided injection near the back. It aims to find which option works better for recovery in people with moderate to severe obesity.
AlexandriaAges 20–50 - NCT06501079Recruiting
Pain relief study: adding dexamethasone or magnesium to a nerve block for kidney removal
This study compares two different medications (dexamethasone and magnesium) added to a standard painkiller used in a nerve block for patients having one kidney removed. The goal is to find out which combination provides better pain relief after surgery.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06517901Recruiting
Comparing two MRI-guided biopsy methods for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways to use MRI images during a prostate biopsy to see which finds cancer better. It looks at 'fusion' biopsy (where a computer combines MRI with live ultrasound) versus 'cognitive' biopsy (where the doctor mentally matches the MRI to the ultrasound).
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06548646Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain relief after mastectomy
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (thoracic interfascial plane block vs. erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. It may help you have less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
Cairo, AbbasiyaAges 21 years+ - NCT06555523Recruiting
Trigger point shots for muscle pain syndrome
This trial tests if injecting trigger points in the neck and shoulder muscles can relieve pain in people with fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain syndrome. It may help reduce muscle tightness and improve function.
ElâzığAges 18–65 - NCT06567938Recruiting
Heart artery procedure study for people with kidney disease
This trial uses a special ultrasound camera inside the heart's arteries to guide stent placement for people with chronic kidney disease. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to standard methods.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06614010RecruitingPhase 1
Testing drugs for hip replacement recovery
This trial studies how giving a sedative drug (dexmedetomidine) through different routes, combined with a numbing shot for the hip, can help reduce confusion and agitation right after hip replacement surgery. The goal is to find which method works best for a smoother wake-up.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–65 - NCT06614452Recruiting
Using ultrasound to biopsy bile duct narrowings
This study tests a new way to take a sample from a narrowed bile duct using a special ultrasound. It may help doctors diagnose the cause of the narrowing without more invasive procedures.
Foggia, FGAges 18 years+ - NCT06656299Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ultrasound guided?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 342 recruiting ultrasound guided 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 ultrasound guided 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 ultrasound guided 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.
