Studying frailty support for ICU patients
This trial looks at ways to help “frailty” (low strength and resilience) in people staying in intensive care units. It mainly enrolls adults who expect to be in the ICU for more than 24 hours, and it tries to avoid people whose mobility problems have other causes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04720690Recruiting
Monitoring body water and blood flow in newborns
This study tests how well simple, harmless sensors and cuff checks work to monitor circulation and body water in newborns. It may help clinicians understand what “normal” looks like in both term and preterm babies, including some smaller babies.
LondonAges Up to 6 months - NCT04775914Recruiting
Test a heart procedure guide during emergency STEMI treatment
This trial studies whether adding a special heart “reset” step (ischemic postconditioning) and using an imaging guide during the emergency procedure can improve outcomes for people having a STEMI heart attack. It’s meant to optimize treatment when a blocked heart artery is being opened.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT04796792Recruiting
Ultrasound help to pass a kidney stone
This study tests whether using ultrasound guidance can help people pass a kidney stone more easily. It looks at people with certain-sized stones and checks safety by managing issues like infection risk and bleeding risk.
Carmel, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT04799535Recruiting
Imaging study to detect and monitor breast changes
This study tests special ultrasound and/or MRI imaging to better detect and track breast cancer and related changes over time. You may be asked to have scans around the time of biopsy or during treatment to help doctors see small blood-vessel changes in the breast.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04803773Recruiting
MRI-guided ultrasound to treat painful bone tumors
This feasibility study tests an MRI-guided focused ultrasound treatment for certain painful bone tumors, including bone metastases and osteoid osteoma. The goal is to see if the treatment can be safely delivered to the right spot and help with pain.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT04813055Recruiting
Registry study for ultrasound during therapeutic endoscopy
This study keeps a careful record (registry) of patients who need ultrasound-guided therapeutic endoscopy. It aims to learn how well and safely this ultrasound technique works during real-life procedures.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04846712Recruiting
Ultrasound to check how severe a new ankle sprain is
This trial studies whether an ultrasound scan can help doctors judge how severe a first-time ankle sprain is. It may help guide treatment and follow-up for people whose sprain affects work or sports.
Saint-EtienneAges 18–60 - NCT04866888Recruiting
Watch outcomes after saving the uterus in placenta accreta
This trial studies what happens after a planned C-section when placenta accreta spectrum is diagnosed by ultrasound and the uterus is kept. It may help doctors understand the safest way to manage this condition and what outcomes to expect.
Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges 20–40 - NCT04903912Recruiting
Study of people with blocked blood vessels or aneurysms
This registry study follows people with peripheral artery disease (blocked leg arteries), certain carotid artery narrowing, or an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care over time.
NaplesAges 18–90 - NCT04917328Recruiting
Ultrasound test for less-likely deep vein blood clots
This study looks at whether a certain ultrasound method can safely check for deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the leg) when the clot seems less likely. It may help doctors decide faster and avoid unnecessary testing in some people.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT04927897Recruiting
Testing where to aim extra rectal radiation before surgery
This trial tests the best place to target an “extra boost” of radiation inside the rectum for certain rectal cancer patients. It may help guide more precise treatment planning before they have total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07640516Recruiting
Pain Relief Comparison for Amputation Surgery in High-Risk Patients
This study compares two medications (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) mixed with a numbing agent to see which works better for blocking pain during above-knee amputation surgery in patients with serious heart or lung disease. Both drugs are already used in anesthesia, and this trial tests which combination is safest and most effective for you.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT04941664Recruiting
Finding the lowest safe anesthetic dose for shoulder surgery
This trial studies how much numbing medicine is needed for an ultrasound-guided nerve block used during elective shoulder rotator cuff surgery. It may help reduce side effects while still providing good pain control.
