Recruiting studies
- NCT06592820Recruiting
Ultrasound stiffness test for fatty liver disease
This study uses a special ultrasound technique, called shear wave elastography, to measure liver stiffness during an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedure. It aims to see how well this new method detects liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with fatty liver disease, compared to standard tests like FibroScan and liver biopsy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06609577Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided diaphragm pacing for patients on ventilators
This trial tests a personalized pacing device that uses ultrasound to help your diaphragm muscle work better while you are on a breathing machine. It may help you breathe on your own sooner and improve your recovery.

Ultrasound and microbubbles with radiation for breast cancer
This trial tests a new way to combine radiation therapy with ultrasound and tiny bubbles to treat breast cancer that has spread to the chest wall or is advanced. It aims to make radiation more effective and safer.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06635915Recruiting
Ultrasound to check nasogastric tube position
This study tests whether ultrasound can help doctors check if a nasogastric tube (a thin tube placed through the nose into the stomach) is in the right position. It may help avoid the need for X-rays.
Palmas de GRAN Canaria, LAS, Las PalmasAges 18 years+ - NCT06637111Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided hysteroscopy for difficult cases
This study tests if using ultrasound during an office hysteroscopy helps women who previously couldn't have the procedure due to a narrow cervix. It aims to make the exam safer and more successful.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06651879Recruiting
Ultrasound airway check in severe preeclampsia patients for C-section
This study compares two ways of using ultrasound to look at the airway in women with severe preeclampsia who need a C-section under general anesthesia. It aims to find which technique is better, so doctors can prepare more safely for your breathing tube placement.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges Any age - NCT06661655Recruiting
Testing a new ultrasound for liver fat in MASLD patients
This study tests a new ultrasound device that uses sound waves to measure fat in the liver without needles or surgery. It is for people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASLD or MASH, who are already getting an MRI to check their liver.
AngersAges 18–80 - NCT06677554RecruitingPhase 3
Using contrast ultrasound to diagnose ovarian torsion
This trial tests if a special ultrasound with contrast dye can better diagnose ovarian torsion (twisted ovary). It may help women get faster, more accurate treatment.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06697470Recruiting
Ultrasound and fluid monitoring in the ICU
This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.
Boussu, HainautAges 18 years+ - NCT07688876Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for long-term heel pain
This trial tests two minimally invasive procedures—pulsed radiofrequency and a dextrose injection—to see which better relieves chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis that hasn't improved with other treatments.
AnkaraAges 18–70 - NCT05147103Enrolling by invitation
Checking how long low-intensity ultrasound lasts
This study looks at how long a low-intensity focused ultrasound treatment effect lasts. It may help researchers plan safer, more effective use of this technology in future studies.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT06729203Recruiting
Ultrasound for belly fat and insulin resistance in women
This trial tests if ultrasound cavitation—a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to break down fat—can help lower insulin resistance in women with central obesity (fat around the belly). It's a possible option if you have insulin resistance and are not taking diabetes medication.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 25–40 - NCT06729762Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heat treatment for benign thyroid nodules
This study tests a treatment that uses ultrasound and heat (radiofrequency or microwave) to shrink benign thyroid nodules. It's for people who have a non-cancerous nodule that causes symptoms or worry, and who can't or don't want surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06733753Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heat therapy for thyroid nodules
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to treat thyroid nodules that are not cancerous but have uncertain results from a biopsy. It may be an option for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06733740Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heat treatment for small thyroid cancer
This trial tests a minimally invasive heat treatment (thermal ablation) guided by ultrasound for small papillary thyroid cancers. It may be an option for patients who want to avoid surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06733766Recruiting
Heat therapy for returning thyroid cancer
This trial tests using ultrasound-guided heat (thermal ablation) to treat thyroid cancer that has come back in the neck after a prior thyroidectomy. The goal is to destroy the recurrent tumor using a needle-like device, avoiding another surgery for patients whose cancer has not spread elsewhere.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06761326Recruiting
Right vs left arm vein for port placement
This trial compares placing a port (a small device for infusions) into a vein under the right or left armpit. It aims to find which side works better and causes fewer problems.
Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges 20–70 - NCT06774924Recruiting
Ultrasound to speed diagnosis in Seine-Saint-Denis
This study tests whether a portable ultrasound device (EchOPen) can help doctors quickly diagnose patients in community clinics and a health bus, connecting them to hospital care. It aims to improve access to fast diagnosis for people in Seine-Saint-Denis.
BondyAges 18 years+ - NCT06782568Recruiting
Using ultrasound to prevent insulin lumps in diabetes
This study tests whether using ultrasound scans in diabetes clinics can help people avoid insulin-induced lipohypertrophy (lumps under the skin from injections). It is for people with diabetes who use insulin injections or a pump and have unstable glucose levels despite using a continuous glucose monitor.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06788860Recruiting
Needle knife release for trigger finger
This trial tests if using a needle knife guided by ultrasound can help release a locked or painful trigger finger. It's for people who have had symptoms for at least 3 months and haven't gotten better with other treatments like splinting or exercises.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06788847Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided needle knife for Dupuytren's contracture
This trial tests a less invasive procedure using a needle-knife guided by ultrasound to treat Dupuytren's contracture, which causes fingers to curl. It may be an option if you haven't had prior treatment on the same hand and are in otherwise good health.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06797193Recruiting
Ultrasound technique to find liver blood pressure
This trial tests a new ultrasound technique called SHAPE to see if it can detect high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension) without needing an invasive procedure. It may help people who are already scheduled for a standard liver pressure measurement.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06798545Recruiting
Study of a new navigation system for pancreas EUS
This trial is testing a new navigation system to help doctors see the pancreas during an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) exam. The system may make it easier to spot lesions or other problems in the pancreas.

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.
