SunderlandAges 2–16 - NCT06643767Recruiting
Testing a new breast exam device during mammogram
This study tests a new device called Bexa that examines the breast to see if it works well along with a standard mammogram. It may help find breast concerns more easily.
Abilene, TexasAges 30–75 - NCT07690514Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment for cervical dystonia
This study tests a new type of ultrasound treatment for cervical dystonia (neck muscle spasms). It uses focused sound waves to target the brain areas causing the condition, and aims to see if it can reduce symptoms without surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT07695987Recruiting
Nerve block for pain relief after back surgery
This trial tests a nerve block called Quadro-Iliac Plane Block to reduce pain after a single-level lumbar microdiscectomy (back surgery). The block is given before surgery and may help you need less pain medicine and recover more comfortably.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07688889Enrolling by invitation
Anthropometric effects on shoulder block success
This trial looks at how body measurements affect the success and timing of a nerve block for shoulder surgery. It aims to improve pain relief during the procedure.
AmasyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07691918Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for mild memory loss
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with mild memory problems. It uses a special cap to gently stimulate the brain and aims to improve thinking and memory.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 55–80 - NCT07695935Recruiting
Pain relief after hernia repair: nerve block vs low-dose morphine
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair: a nerve block (injection near the abdominal muscles) versus a low-dose painkiller (morphine) given through the spinal needle. The goal is to find which method provides better relief with fewer side effects.
ÇorumAges 18–80 - NCT07695233Recruiting
Ultrasound brain stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This trial tests a noninvasive ultrasound treatment targeting a brain area called the pedunculopontine nucleus to help reduce freezing of gait (a sudden inability to walk) in Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and experience freezing, you may be eligible to try this new approach.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT06379347Recruiting
Fluid status check with ultrasound in hospitalized patients
This study uses ultrasound to measure fluid levels in hospitalized patients. It helps doctors understand how well your body is managing fluids, which can guide treatment decisions.
Almere StadAges 18 years+ - NCT06658444Recruiting
Onion gel ultrasound for c-section scar treatment
This trial tests whether a special gel made with onion extract, applied using ultrasound (phonophoresis), can improve the appearance and healing of c-section scars. Participants will have the gel applied to their scar during ultrasound sessions to see if it reduces scar thickness and improves texture.
CairoAges 18–35 - NCT07687069Recruiting
Numbing injection versus IV pain medicine for breast reduction
This study compares two ways to manage pain after breast reduction surgery: one uses a numbing injection near the chest muscles (called an ESPB block), and the other uses numbing medicine given through an IV. If you're having breast reduction, this might help find a better way to control your pain with fewer side effects.
WarsawAges 18–75 - NCT07684976Recruiting
Safety of a helmet device using ultrasound for substance use disorder
