Ultrasound effect on calcified shoulder tendinitis
This trial tests if using Doppler ultrasound to guide treatment can help people with long-term shoulder pain caused by calcified deposits. It may offer a more targeted way to relieve pain.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT06507670Recruiting
Ultrasound for detecting food stuck in the esophagus
This trial tests whether a bedside ultrasound (an ultrasound done right where you are) can help doctors quickly find a food blockage in the esophagus. If you come to the ER with symptoms of something stuck in your throat, this study may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06518785Recruiting
Ultrasound brain treatment for alcohol use disorder
This study tests if focused ultrasound can help reduce alcohol cravings by stimulating a specific part of the brain. Participants will receive ultrasound treatments and undergo an MRI to see how the brain responds.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533488Recruiting
Spinal Ultrasound Learning Module for Anesthesia Residents
This study tests a new online training module to help anesthesia residents learn how to do spinal ultrasound. If you are a junior resident with little experience in spinal ultrasound, this training could boost your skills.
Montreal, QuebecAges Any age - NCT06537323Recruiting
Comparing nerve blocks and fentanyl for hip surgery pain
This trial tests different ways to manage pain during hip surgery, comparing a femoral nerve block, a newer nerve block called PENG, and a pain medicine given before surgery. It aims to see which method gives the best pain relief.
CairoAges 55–69 - NCT06545409Recruiting
Nerve block for pain relief in robotic thymus surgery
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after robotic thymus surgery. It may help patients with thymus growths or cysts have less pain and use fewer painkillers after their operation.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06550193Recruiting
AR/VR for ultrasound-guided procedures
This study tests whether using augmented reality or virtual reality (AR/VR) can help doctors perform ultrasound-guided procedures more accurately. If you are an adult having an ultrasound-guided procedure and are in generally good health, you may be able to join.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06550219Recruiting
Using a face mask breathing support in premature babies with breathing trouble

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,225 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.
