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+ - NCT06579911Recruiting
Micro-ultrasound vs. MRI for prostate biopsy
This trial compares two advanced imaging techniques—high-frequency micro-ultrasound and multiparametric MRI—to guide biopsies for men who may have aggressive prostate cancer. The goal is to see which method better detects cancer while reducing unnecessary biopsies.
Salzburg, State of SalzburgAges 18–99 - NCT06576128Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief during heart procedures
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection in the belly wall can reduce pain during heart procedures like angioplasty or stent placement. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) heart catheterization.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06581120Enrolling by invitation
Stomach ultrasound study for diabetes and obesity
This study uses ultrasound to see how GLP-1 RA medications (like Ozempic) affect the stomach in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors better understand how these medicines work.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–25 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06527235RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid injection for knee pain with ultrasound guidance
This trial tests whether a steroid injection guided by ultrasound can reduce knee pain caused by a degenerative meniscus tear. It may help if you have ongoing knee pain that hasn't improved with pain relievers.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06371755Recruiting
Comparing two bone density tests: ultrasound vs X-ray
This study compares two ways to measure bone density: a standard X-ray method (DXA) and a newer ultrasound method (REMS). If you are a woman scheduled for a DXA scan, you may help researchers see if the ultrasound test is just as accurate and easier to use.
Milan, MIAges 30–80 - NCT06078852Recruiting
FSHD Diaphragm Ultrasound Study
This study uses ultrasound to look at the diaphragm in people with FSHD. It aims to better understand how FSHD affects breathing muscles over time.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06496971RecruitingPhase 3
Testing focused ultrasound plus Avastin for recurrent glioblastoma
This study tests whether adding focused ultrasound to the standard drug Avastin (bevacizumab) can help treat recurrent glioblastoma. The ultrasound may help more of the drug reach the tumor.
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+ - NCT06503302Recruiting
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 - 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.
ReimsAges 1 month–18 years - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04874454Recruiting
Checks choking risk from a throat ultrasound after stroke
This study looks at whether using an ultrasound on the throat (laryngeal ultrasound) could cause choking in people who have had a recent stroke. If you recently had an acute stroke, they may test the safety of this monitoring approach for you.
Taipei, None SelectedAges 20 years+ - NCT06361498Recruiting

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.
