You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05906030Recruiting
Ultrasound to study diaphragm function around surgery
This trial uses ultrasound (a non-painful scanning method) to measure how well the diaphragm works around the time of surgery. It aims to learn whether diaphragm changes during surgery relate to breathing problems, especially in people undergoing abdominal, pelvic, or vascular operations.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18–100 - NCT05923736Recruiting
Study of cardiovascular risk in people with digital osteoarthritis
This study looks at how heart-and-blood-vessel risk differs in people with digital osteoarthritis (arthritis affecting the fingers). It may help doctors understand whether finger osteoarthritis is linked with higher cardiovascular risk.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT05934383Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment to lower blood pressure after kidney transplant
This trial tests whether ultrasound “renal denervation” can safely and effectively lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not well controlled after a kidney transplant. If you qualify, the study may help you see whether this procedure reduces office and 24-hour blood pressure readings without harming your transplanted kidney.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05969561Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve block for hip-fracture pain in the ER
This trial tests whether an emergency doctor can safely and effectively place a pain-relieving nerve block in the thigh using ultrasound for people with hip fractures. It may help reduce pain while you are in the emergency department.
Douliu, Yunlin CountyAges 20 years+ - NCT05977621Recruiting
Ultrasound imaging to guide radiation needle placement
