Recruiting studies
- NCT07716540Recruiting
Pain relief injection for hip fracture surgery
This study tests whether a special numbing injection (deep iliacus plane block) can better control pain after hip fracture surgery. If you're having hip surgery under spinal anesthesia, researchers want to see if this extra block helps you recover with less pain.

Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 16 years+ - NCT07426796Recruiting
Comparing two pain blocks for pediatric testicle surgery
This trial compares two types of numbing injections for pain after surgery to fix an undescended testicle in young boys. It aims to find which injection works better for comfort during recovery.
IstanbulAges 1–7 - NCT05438563Recruiting
MRI-guided prostate cancer ablation with ultrasound from the urethra
This trial tests a newer way to treat certain low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancers using MRI guidance and an ultrasound probe placed through the urethra. It aims to destroy the tumor while using imaging to help target it more precisely.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 45–80 - NCT07060274Recruiting
How fast does the halo sign vanish after steroids in GCA?
This trial is for people newly diagnosed with giant cell arteritis (GCA) who have a 'halo' sign on their temporal artery ultrasound. It will study how quickly the halo disappears after starting steroid treatment, helping doctors understand the best way to use steroids for this condition.
Le Mans, SartheAges 50 years+ - NCT07231757Recruiting
Blood pressure study for older adults
This study tests a treatment to lower blood pressure in adults aged 65 and older whose blood pressure is not well controlled with their current medications. It may be an option for those looking for additional ways to manage their hypertension.
Detroit, MichiganAges 65 years+ - NCT07543692Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided injection therapy for spine pain
This study tests whether using ultrasound imaging to guide a special injection treatment (pharmacopuncture) is safe and effective for people with spine-related neck or lower back pain that radiates into the arms or legs. The treatment is already being offered as routine care, and this study tracks how well it works.
Daejeon, DaejeonAges 19–69 - NCT07372430Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for buttock nerve pain
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing injection (nerve block) to treat a condition where a nerve in the low back gets pinched, causing long-term buttock or low back pain. It aims to see which method works better.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT03107520RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Ultrasound during hip surgery to check blood flow
This early-phase study tests a special ultrasound with an added contrast medicine (Lumason) during surgery for babies with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It aims to better see blood flow at the time of surgery, which may help guide and improve care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 4 months–2 years - NCT03195556Recruiting
Test ultrasound contrast to improve blood flow in legs
This study checks whether using a special ultrasound with contrast can improve blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have leg circulation problems, it may help doctors measure and potentially enhance how well blood reaches your limb.
Portland, OregonAges 19–99 - NCT03691857Recruiting
Ultrasound computer tool for sudden breathing trouble in the ER
This study tests how well a computer-guided ultrasound method can quickly identify the cause of sudden breathing difficulty in the emergency room. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions for treatment.
Châlons-en-ChampagneAges 50 years+ - NCT03868293Recruiting
Low-intensity ultrasound for drug-resistant temporal lobe seizures
This pilot study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound can reduce seizures in adults whose temporal lobe epilepsy hasn’t improved with at least two anti-seizure medicines. You may be asked to track seizure timing and undergo brain imaging before and during the study.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03908684Recruiting
Ultrasound tests to predict early response to prostate and head/neck radiation
This study uses special ultrasound imaging to look for early signs of how well radiation treatment is working in prostate, rectum, and head/neck cancers. It may help doctors spot response sooner and adjust care earlier if needed.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT04050228Recruiting
Ultrasound test to tailor chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound measurement can help doctors choose the right chemotherapy plan during treatment for breast cancer. It may help avoid under- or over-treatment by adjusting care based on the ultrasound results.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04239573Recruiting
Compare pancreatic cyst checkup programs and test markers
This study compares different ways to monitor pancreatic cysts and also measures blood or other test markers to see which approach is more helpful. It may help patients by finding the safest, most effective way to track certain cysts that could otherwise be hard to manage.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50–75 - NCT04399941Recruiting
Ultrasound inside the blood vessel for dialysis access issues
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT04515251Recruiting
Ultrasound measurements of a key belly artery in healthy kids
This study uses an abdominal ultrasound to measure a blood vessel called the superior mesenteric artery in generally healthy children. It helps researchers understand normal ultrasound measurements, which can improve how doctors interpret scans in the future.
BellinzonaAges 10–15 - NCT04549688Recruiting
Active surveillance with focused ultrasound for prostate cancer
This trial studies whether a high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment can help people with localized prostate cancer while still avoiding traditional full-dose treatment for some patients. It may be an option for certain intermediate-risk cases where the cancer is confined to the prostate.
Tønsberg, VestfoldAges 18–80 - NCT04692818Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging for women with a breast lump
This study tests how well a new 3D ultrasound method can “see” a solid breast lump that is being biopsied. It may help doctors get clearer images to guide diagnosis, especially alongside a standard biopsy.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04720456RecruitingPhase 2
Ultrasound test study for high pressure in liver veins in kids
This Phase 2 trial looks at a special ultrasound approach to better understand and measure portal hypertension—high pressure in the liver’s vein system—in children with long-term (chronic) liver disease. The results may help doctors track this condition more accurately and safely.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 6–21 - 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+ - NCT04874454Recruiting
Checks choking risk from a throat ultrasound after stroke
This study looks at whether using an ultrasound on the throat (laryngeal ultrasound) could cause choking in people who have had a recent stroke. If you recently had an acute stroke, they may test the safety of this monitoring approach for you.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,220 recruiting 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 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 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.
