Prone CT and ultrasound to check underarm lymph nodes
This study checks how well CT scans and ultrasound (done while lying face-down) can identify underarm lymph node involvement in people with breast cancer before surgery. If accurate, this may help guide whether additional lymph node surgery is needed.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–70 - NCT05352958Recruiting
Ultrasound checks breathing muscle function in ALS
This study uses a quick ultrasound test to check how well the breathing muscle (the diaphragm) works in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It may help doctors monitor breathing changes over time and guide care.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05354947Recruiting
Ultrasound test in adults with type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a series of ultrasound treatments can improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to stay on your current diabetes pills and avoid certain other medicines during the study.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 21–75 - NCT05486572Recruiting
Ultrasound or MRI to help prevent liver cancer deaths
This study compares ultrasound scans versus MRI scans to see which one better helps prevent deaths from liver cancer in people with cirrhosis. You may be assigned to one of the two imaging tests and follow-up visits to track whether liver cancer develops or is caught early.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT05492344Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided breathing support for severe lung failure
This study tests whether using an ultrasound scan to guide a breathing machine settings can improve care for people with moderate or severe ARDS, a serious lung condition. If you qualify, the team will compare the ultrasound-guided approach to standard ventilator care in the ICU.
BrusselsAges 18–100 - NCT05530681Recruiting
Ultrasound and pelvic floor health one year after vaginal birth
This study checks how pelvic floor function and ultrasound (picture) findings relate to each other about one year after childbirth. You may help researchers understand which physical changes after vaginal birth matter most and how to monitor them.
LeuvenAges 18–45 - NCT05558241Recruiting
Ultrasound test for men on active surveillance for prostate cancer
This study checks whether a new, small ultrasound approach can help confirm prostate cancer during active surveillance. It may help by providing a safer or more targeted way to decide whether ongoing monitoring is still enough.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05610501Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided biopsy for pelvic masses
This study looks at how well an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy (Tru-Cut) can safely collect tissue samples from pelvic masses. It may help doctors confirm diagnoses and guide treatment by improving how biopsies are done in real-world care.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05620290RecruitingPhase 1
