Recruiting studies
- NCT07060378Recruiting
Contrast Dye for Better Lung Biopsy
This trial tests whether using a special contrast dye during an ultrasound-guided biopsy (EBUS) makes it easier to see and sample lung tumors or swollen lymph nodes. It may help doctors get more accurate tissue samples with fewer tries.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT05425979Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Compare numbing medicines for ankle blocks in foot surgery
This study tests which numbing medicine works faster for an ultrasound-guided ankle nerve block during foot surgery: mepivacaine or bupivacaine. It may help improve comfort by reducing how long it takes for the numbness to start.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05974618Recruiting
Testing an ultrasound model to sort pregnancy ovarian cysts
This study checks how well a specific ultrasound-based scoring tool can tell the difference between harmless (non-cancer) and harmful (cancer) ovarian masses during pregnancy. If you have a cyst or mass that’s at least 5 cm, your scan details may be used to validate the tool.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–50 - NCT07561320RecruitingPhase 4
Two ways to treat enlarged veins in your leg
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to treat enlarged great saphenous veins (a vein in your thigh that can cause swelling, pain, or skin changes). Both procedures seal off the problematic vein by either using heat and mechanical motion or injecting a foaming substance.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07564167Recruiting
Dextrose Injection for Tailbone Pain Relief
This study tests whether injecting dextrose (a sugar solution) under ultrasound guidance can relieve chronic tailbone pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or medication. The injection is designed to stimulate healing in the painful area.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT06765772Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain relief during tummy tuck surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (with numbing medicine) to reduce pain during and after tummy tuck surgery. The goal is to see if combining two blocks works better than one block alone.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 21–60 - NCT07721636Recruiting
Vexus ultrasound to set dry weight in dialysis
This trial uses a special ultrasound scan (VEXUS) to help doctors find the right 'dry weight' for people on hemodialysis. The goal is to remove just the right amount of fluid without strain.
AlexandriaAges 25–65 - NCT07470021Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief after ankle surgery
This study tests whether a numbing injection around the ankle nerves before surgery can reduce pain and help you recover faster after ankle arthroscopy. It is for people having this keyhole surgery and staying in the hospital for a short time.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT07704814Recruiting
Kids' lymph node ultrasound in lower body
This study uses a bedside ultrasound to check lymph nodes in the lower belly and groin of children who come to the emergency room with injuries. It aims to learn what normal lymph nodes look like in healthy kids.
SunderlandAges 2–16 - NCT04699201Recruiting
Preventing abdominal hernias after gallbladder surgery
This trial tests a method (using a special mesh) to help prevent an abdominal wall hernia after planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you’re at risk of developing a hernia where the surgery cuts are made, this study may help reduce that risk.
Tarragona, TarragonaAges 18–99 - NCT06472947Recruiting
New imaging tests to check kidney transplant health
This study is testing two new types of scans that use sound and light waves to check the health of your transplanted kidney without needing a needle biopsy. If you are already scheduled for a biopsy, the researchers want to see if these scans can give the same information in a less invasive way.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07666451Recruiting
Heart and neck artery ultrasound study in healthy children
This study uses ultrasound (sound waves) to take pictures of the heart and the main neck arteries in healthy children across Italy. It helps doctors learn what normal measurements look like for different ages.
Bologna, BolognaAges birth–18 years - NCT07190339Recruiting
Nerve block for hip osteoarthritis pain
This trial tests whether blocking specific nerves in the hip and groin area can reduce pain from hip osteoarthritis when standard treatments like painkillers or physical therapy haven't worked.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT04600570Recruiting
Ultrasound measurement of the eye nerve in adults
This study uses an ultrasound scan to measure the space around the optic nerve in healthy adults. It helps researchers better understand normal ultrasound measurements for comparison in future eye or brain-related conditions.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07128108Recruiting
Testing a new ultrasound for liver fat and scarring
This study tests a new ultrasound technique called Visual Transient Elastography (ViTE) to measure fat and scarring in the liver. If you recently had a liver biopsy, this noninvasive test could help check your liver health without another needle procedure.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07465510Recruiting
Ultrasound vs. other methods for double-lumen tube placement
This study compares three ways to check if a breathing tube is in the right spot during lung surgery: using ultrasound, listening with a stethoscope, or looking with a tiny camera. It aims to find which method works best and is safest.
Izmir, İzmirAges 18–65 - NCT07446959Recruiting
Smallest effective dose of bupivacaine for chest surgery pain block
This trial tests the smallest amount of bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) needed to control pain after keyhole chest surgery. You will receive a nerve block before surgery, and the goal is to find the best dose with fewer side effects.
BursaAges 18 years+ - NCT07451106Recruiting
Wearable bladder sensor for pelvic health therapy
This trial tests whether a wearable sensor for the bladder can help guide pelvic health physical therapy. It is designed for people who are already referred to pelvic PT, including postpartum women and men who have had prostate surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07423910Recruiting
Numbing injections for better recovery after hernia surgery
This study looks at two types of numbing injections (TAP and RS blocks) to see which helps people recover better after groin hernia surgery. If you are having a planned single-side hernia repair, you might qualify to join.
TampereAges 18 years+ - NCT07407530Recruiting
Sipping fluids before planned c-section
This trial tests whether drinking small amounts of clear fluids up until surgery is safe for women having a planned c-section. It uses an ultrasound to check the stomach before the procedure.

Breast abscess treatment: pills vs. local antibiotics and drainage
This study compares two ways to treat breast abscess: taking antibiotics by mouth versus getting antibiotics injected into the abscess after draining it with a needle guided by ultrasound. It aims to find which method works better and may be an option for you.
Gujranwala, Punjab ProvinceAges 14–60 - NCT07424807Recruiting
Comparing two needle techniques in chest lymph node biopsy
This trial compares two different ways of moving the needle during an EBUS-TBNA procedure to see which method gets better tissue samples from enlarged lymph nodes in the chest. It may help doctors improve the accuracy of diagnosis for conditions like lung cancer or infection.
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi MinhAges 18 years+ - NCT06435663Recruiting
ultramicro-flow technique for focused ultrasound treatment of uterine tumors
This study tests a new imaging tool (ultramicro-flow technique) to help doctors treat uterine fibroids or adenomyosis with focused ultrasound without surgery. The goal is to make the treatment safer and more accurate, especially for tumors deep inside the uterus.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,224 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.
