Recruiting studies
- NCT06831396Recruiting

This study looks at risk factors for chronic diseases in healthy working-age adults. You may help researchers understand how to prevent conditions like heart disease or diabetes.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06803628Recruiting
Ultrasound to rule out bowel blockage in ER
This study tests if an ER doctor can use a bedside ultrasound to quickly rule out a bowel blockage, so you might avoid a CT scan. You'll get the ultrasound plus a CT scan to compare how well the ultrasound works.
Clermont-Ferrand, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06809972Recruiting
Understanding joint lining changes on ultrasound in hemophilia
This study uses ultrasound to check if thickened joint lining (synovium) in people with severe hemophilia is a sign of active inflammation or just a harmless leftover. It may help doctors decide whether to treat or watch these joints.
UtrechtAges 12 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06752395Enrolling by invitation
Freezing vs. forceps biopsy for small lung nodules
This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a small lung nodule: traditional forceps (like tiny tweezers) versus a newer freezing method (cryobiopsy). It will help find out which technique is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis with fewer side effects.
BusanAges 18 years+ - NCT06584864Recruiting
Ultrasound for better lumbar puncture in children
This study tests whether using a bedside ultrasound (a quick, painless scan) helps doctors perform a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) more easily and safely in children. It may help children who need this procedure.
WarsawAges Up to 18 years - NCT04515251Recruiting
Ultrasound measurements of a key belly artery in healthy kids
This study uses an abdominal ultrasound to measure a blood vessel called the superior mesenteric artery in generally healthy children. It helps researchers understand normal ultrasound measurements, which can improve how doctors interpret scans in the future.
BellinzonaAges 10–15 - NCT06384885Recruiting
Ultrasound for swimming lung fluid in open water athletes
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the lungs (swimming-induced pulmonary edema) in athletes who swim in open water races. It helps doctors understand how common this condition is and how to spot it quickly.
Parker, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06728722Recruiting
Ultrasound for body measurement in critical care
This study uses ultrasound to measure body composition in women admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology critical care unit. It aims to see if ultrasound can help assess health status in critically ill patients.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 16 years+ - NCT06722365Recruiting
Fetal lung study using ultrasound
This study uses a special ultrasound to look at your baby's lung development in the last weeks of pregnancy. It may help doctors learn more about how healthy lungs grow before birth.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–45 - 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+ - NCT05749094Recruiting
Ultrasound of the optic nerve in new suspected giant eye artery disease
This trial studies whether a quick ultrasound of the optic nerve (plus an eye exam) can help evaluate new suspected giant cell arteritis (GCA). It may help doctors assess eye risk early and decide on the best next steps.
London, OntarioAges 50–99 - NCT06706375Recruiting
Comparing two types of penile nerve blocks for child circumcision

Ultrasound-guided elbow nerve release for Lacertus syndrome
This trial tests a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure to release the median nerve at the elbow in people with Lacertus syndrome (a condition where the nerve gets compressed). It aims to relieve symptoms like pain, tingling, or weakness in the hand and forearm.
Versailles, YvelinesAges 18–70 - NCT06661655Recruiting
Testing a new ultrasound for liver fat in MASLD patients

AngersAges 18–80 - NCT06648577Recruiting
3D ultrasound heart muscle wave measurements
This study uses 3D ultrasound to measure mechanical waves in the heart muscle of people with different severities of mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). It aims to better understand how the heart adapts to the leak, which could help guide treatment decisions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,175 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.
