Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT07283913Recruiting
Non-invasive ear nerve stimulation for healthy volunteers
This study tests whether a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear can affect health. It is for healthy adults who are not taking medications (except birth control) and can avoid eating and exercise for 12 hours before two of the visits.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07287605Recruiting
Virtual reality for mood during focused ultrasound for essential tremor
This study tests if using virtual reality can improve your mood while you undergo a focused ultrasound procedure for essential tremor. If you are already scheduled for this treatment, you may be able to join.
North York, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07285187Recruiting
Vein congestion and confusion after heart surgery trial
This trial looks at how blood backing up in veins after heart surgery might relate to delirium (sudden confusion). It uses a special ultrasound to check vein blood flow and then watches for confusion afterward.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07284719Recruiting
Focused Ultrasound for Parkinson's Tremor
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) to reduce severe tremor in Parkinson's disease. It uses sound waves to target the brain area causing the shaking, without surgery.
AarhusAges 50–80 - NCT07270601Recruiting
Ultrasound test for liver fat
This study is testing a new ultrasound method to measure fat in the liver. It is for people who may have a liver condition or have risk factors like diabetes or obesity, as well as healthy volunteers.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–75 - NCT05708105Recruiting
Testing ultrasound and near-infrared light to predict brain bleeding
This study looks at using two noninvasive tools on very preterm newborns to better predict whether an intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain’s fluid spaces) may happen. If successful, it could help doctors spot risk earlier and monitor or treat babies sooner.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT07270276Recruiting
Dry needling for shoulder muscle pain
This study tests if dry needling (a therapy that uses thin needles to release muscle knots) can help with shoulder muscle pain. It uses special tests to measure how the treatment affects your muscles and pain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07274657Recruiting
New ultrasound methods for diagnosing pancreatic tumors
This study tests two new ultrasound techniques to better tell apart pancreatic cancer from other solid growths in the pancreas. If you have a solid pancreas mass, the results could help doctors choose the most appropriate treatment without unnecessary surgery.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07271017RecruitingPhase 1
Robot-assisted prostate biopsy using a new ultrasound probe
This trial tests a robot-assisted method for taking prostate biopsies using a new type of ultrasound probe. It may help men with certain high-risk features get a more precise diagnosis.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40–75 - NCT07272083Recruiting
New ways to check if liver cancer ablation worked
This study tests new criteria for evaluating how well thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer nodules) worked in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, a type of liver cancer). It aims to improve follow-up imaging with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) or CT/MRI to see if the treatment was successful.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06689605Recruiting
Tru-cut biopsy for suspected ovarian cancer
This trial checks if an ultrasound-guided tru-cut biopsy (a small needle sample) is safe and accurate in people with suspected advanced ovarian cancer. It may help avoid more invasive surgery to get a diagnosis.
Hradec KrálovéAges 18 years+ - NCT07262944Recruiting
Pain block study for ear surgery with rib cartilage
This study tests a pain-blocking injection during ear surgery to see if it helps reduce pain after the operation. It is for teenagers having ear reconstruction with rib cartilage at a specific hospital.
SeoulAges 13–18 - NCT07261436Recruiting
Testing AI's ability to read TAP block ultrasounds
This trial tests how well artificial intelligence (AI) can interpret ultrasound videos of a nerve block called a TAP block. If you are having planned surgery that includes this block, joining may help improve how blocks are performed in the future.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–85 - NCT03861507Recruiting
Power ultrasound helps locate prostate treatment needles
This trial studies whether a special ultrasound method (power Doppler ultrasound) can better guide where needles go during high-dose-rate radiation treatment for prostate cancer. The goal is to improve targeting during the procedure while you receive standard treatment.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07251114Recruiting
AI help for early esophageal cancer depth check during endoscopy
This trial tests if artificial intelligence can help doctors more accurately determine how deep early esophageal cancer goes during an endoscopic ultrasound. It may lead to better treatment decisions for people with early signs of esophageal cancer.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07259174Recruiting

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.
