Recruiting studies
- NCT06133179Recruiting
Super-resolution brain ultrasound for stroke patients
This trial tests a new 3D ultrasound technique to get clearer images of blood flow in the brain after a stroke, which could help doctors better understand and treat the damage.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06142747Recruiting
Tracking blood flow in healthy and injured tendons
This study uses a special ultrasound to see how blood flows in tendons, comparing healthy people to those with overuse injuries. It may help doctors better understand and treat tendon problems.
CopenhagenAges 18–70 - NCT06143969Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided clot-dissolving treatment for intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism
This trial tests a treatment that uses ultrasound to guide a thin tube (catheter) to deliver clot-busting medicine directly into the blood clot in your lung. It may be an option for people whose clot is serious but not yet causing shock, and who have symptoms that started within the last two weeks.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06171607RecruitingPhase 1
Ultrasound with contrast to help spot breast lumps
This trial uses a special ultrasound with a contrast agent to get clearer images of breast lumps. It may help doctors decide if a lump needs a biopsy.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06185972RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided ultrasound radiation for breast and chest cancer
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy using MRI imaging and ultrasound to make the radiation more targeted and potentially safer. If you have chest-wall or breast cancer and are already scheduled for radiation, this approach might offer a more precise treatment option.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06199856Recruiting
Ultrasound check for age-related muscle loss
This study uses an ultrasound (a painless scan) to check for sarcopenia—age-related muscle loss. It may be a good fit if you're over 50 and have noticed trouble with walking, climbing, or recent falls or weight loss.
Chengdu, SichuanAges Up to 100 years - NCT06227182Recruiting
Comparing MRI and ultrasound for muscle health
This study compares two imaging methods, MRI and ultrasound, to see how well they measure muscle health. It may help find better ways to monitor muscle conditions without invasive tests.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18–70 - NCT06243497Recruiting
Comparing eye fluid and tear markers before and after UCP
This study compares levels of inflammatory markers (cytokines) in the fluid inside your eye and your tears before and after a procedure called UCP (ultrasound cycloplasty) to treat glaucoma. It aims to understand how the eye responds, which may lead to better treatments for high eye pressure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06261814RecruitingPhase 2
Ultrasound to check chemoembolization for liver tumors
This trial uses a special ultrasound with a contrast agent to see how well a liver cancer treatment called TACE is working. It may help doctors better understand if the treatment is shrinking the tumor.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06283758Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment for kidney fat to lower blood pressure
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment that targets the fat pad around your kidney to lower blood pressure. It might be an option if your blood pressure is still high despite medication and you meet the size requirements for the fat pad.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT06292494Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for drug-resistant epilepsy
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound can help people whose seizures are not controlled by two or more medications. You would have a noninvasive procedure while awake, pressing a stop button if needed, and your hair will be partially shaved.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06318780Recruiting
Comparing imaging methods to find leaks after aortic repair
This study compares three different imaging methods (dynamic CT, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and CT angiography) to better identify and characterize endoleaks—small leaks that can happen after aortic aneurysm repair. The goal is to find the most accurate way to detect these leaks so patients can get the right treatment sooner.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT06324149Recruiting
Frailty and aging conditions in chronic diseases
This study looks at how frailty affects the course of chronic diseases and how chronic diseases affect frailty. It may help understand aging-related conditions better.
MilanAges 18–100 - NCT06955221Recruiting
Alcohol injection for ovarian endometriosis pain
This study tests if injecting alcohol into ovarian endometriosis cysts can reduce pelvic pain and improve quality of life. It may offer a less invasive option for women with persistent cysts.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18–45 - NCT06327594Recruiting
Muscle loss check in lung cancer surgery patients
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with lung cancer who are about to have surgery. It uses a CT or MRI scan to check your muscle health, which may help doctors better plan your care.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 40–100 - NCT06340945Recruiting
Treating benign thyroid nodules with heat
This study uses heat (thermal ablation) guided by ultrasound to shrink benign thyroid nodules that are causing symptoms or cosmetic concerns. It's an option if you can't have surgery or prefer not to.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06345508Recruiting
Finding liver cancer early with ultrasound
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to catch liver cancer sooner. If you have regular imaging checks for liver cancer or are getting an MRI for a liver spot, you may be able to join.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06345547Recruiting
Muscle mass ultrasound study in cirrhosis patients
This study uses ultrasound to measure muscle mass in people with cirrhosis. It aims to understand muscle changes and their link to health outcomes.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT06384430Recruiting
Shoulder impingement tests and ultrasound in diagnosis
This study looks at how certain shoulder tests and ultrasound images relate to each other in people with shoulder impingement (a common cause of shoulder pain). It aims to improve diagnosis and understand which tests work best.
MuğlaAges 18–70 - NCT06402357RecruitingPhase 2
Focused Ultrasound for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radiation
This trial tests if a focused ultrasound treatment can safely and effectively treat prostate cancer that has come back after radiation therapy. The ultrasound uses sound waves to heat and destroy cancer cells in a specific area of the prostate while sparing healthy tissue.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06405074Recruiting
Ultrasound for Smoking Cessation in Veterans
This study tests if a gentle ultrasound aimed at a specific part of the brain (the insula) can help veterans who smoke tobacco reduce or quit smoking. The research is for veterans who smoke heavily and are motivated to think about quitting but are not currently in treatment.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–75 - NCT06440174Recruiting
Study of endoscopic ultrasound use in esophageal cancer
This study looks at how doctors use a special scope test (endoscopic ultrasound) to guide treatment decisions for people newly diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It aims to understand variations in care and improve future use of this test.
AbercynonAges 16 years+ - NCT06453109Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for chronic back pain with opioid use
This study tests whether focused ultrasound (a non-invasive treatment using sound waves) can help people with chronic back pain who also have opioid use disorder and anxiety. It aims to find a better way to manage pain without relying on opioids.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–75 - NCT06465121Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided IV placement for children with difficult veins
This trial tests whether using ultrasound to guide IV placement helps children who are known to have hard-to-find veins. It aims to make the process quicker and less painful.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,223 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.
