Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 45–85 - NCT05977621Recruiting
Ultrasound imaging to guide radiation needle placement
This trial tests a guidance technique that uses ultrasound images matched to MRI (a real-time “map”) to help track the needle position during treatment for cervical or uterine cancer. It may help make radiation treatments more precise for people who are getting curative-intent radiation with brachytherapy.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–90 - NCT05941013Recruiting
Ultrasound-check breathing tube during heart procedures
This feasibility study tests a special breathing tube that can be checked with ultrasound during a planned heart catheter procedure under general anesthesia. It may help doctors confirm the tube is in the right place more easily and safely, before and after the procedure.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 6 months–3.5 years - NCT05925075Enrolling by invitation
Lung ultrasound check for breathing problems in very premature babies
This trial tests whether doing a bedside lung ultrasound can help doctors assess and manage breathing problems in very premature infants. It may help guide care decisions for infants who are struggling to breathe, especially those needing breathing support.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges birth+ - NCT05922085Recruiting
Ultrasound check to spot swallowing trouble after ICU care
This trial tests whether bedside ultrasound can help identify people at risk for swallowing problems that can start after time in the ICU and on a breathing machine. If you’re at risk early, the goal is to guide the care team to take steps sooner to prevent complications.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05750992Recruiting
Ultrasound vs surgery guidance for numbing during C-section
This trial compares two ways of placing numbing medicine (with bupivacaine) during a planned C-section: an ultrasound-guided approach versus a surgical approach. It aims to find which method provides better pain control and comfort with fewer problems.
CairoAges 21–35 - NCT05755399Recruiting
