This trial tests a non-invasive ultrasound device to help clear blood clots from the brain after a spontaneous bleed. It may be an option for people with small to medium-sized bleeds who do not need surgery.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07246460Recruiting
Ultrasound and protein tests to see if guselkumab works for Crohn's
This study tests whether guselkumab (a targeted drug) can effectively treat Crohn's disease in the ileum (last part of the small intestine). You will have ultrasound scans and blood tests to measure your response, which may help find the right dose and monitor for bowel healing.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Up to 80 years - NCT07243106Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound vs physical exam for predicting difficult airway
This trial compares using ultrasound of the airway versus standard physical exams to predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It's for adults having elective surgery with a breathing tube.
Tokat Province, Tokat ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT01732523Recruiting
Check if extra blood-vessel growth predicts stroke risk in carotid narrowing
This study looks at an imaging test to see whether signs of new blood-vessel growth in an artery predict future stroke risk in people who have carotid artery narrowing but no symptoms. If it works, it could help doctors identify who may need closer monitoring or preventive treatment.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07232277Recruiting
Vein congestion and kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial looks at how fluid buildup in veins might relate to kidney injury after planned heart surgery. It aims to find ways to prevent kidney damage. Participants must be having planned (non-emergency) heart surgery, be 18 or older, and have healthy kidneys and overall health.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07239557Enrolling by invitation
Best timing for lung expansion moves during surgery
This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–80 - NCT06883669Recruiting
AI for wrist and hand joint ultrasound
This study is testing if an artificial intelligence program can help doctors take clearer images of the wrist and hand using ultrasound. It is for healthy volunteers to help build the AI system, and for experienced sonographers to test how well it works.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–100 - NCT07225114RecruitingPhase 2
Better ultrasound imaging with contrast before biopsy
This trial tests a new, detailed ultrasound technique that uses a contrast agent (called Definity) to get clearer images of a suspicious area before a biopsy. It may help doctors better see the blood flow in the lesion, which could improve diagnosis.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06911450Recruiting
Ultrasound test for lung strain in ICU patients
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how the lungs stretch (pleural strain) during breathing. It aims to see if this measurement works in ICU patients, both those breathing on their own and those on a ventilator, and how it relates to the pressure needed to inflate the lungs.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT07229430Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment for loose neck and chin skin
This study tests a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device to lift and tighten loose skin under the chin and neck. If you are in good health and want a non-surgical option for mild to moderate skin laxity, this trial may be for you.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 30–65 - NCT07225621RecruitingPhase 2
Light and sound therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests a new approach that uses a light-sensitive drug and low-intensity ultrasound to make standard chemotherapy more effective for glioblastoma. If you have completed initial treatment with radiation and temozolomide without the tumor growing, you may be eligible.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07226648Recruiting
Ultrasound brain treatment for fibromyalgia pain
This study tests a non-invasive ultrasound treatment aimed at a part of the brain involved in pain. It may help people with fibromyalgia who haven't found enough relief from standard treatments.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 22 years+ - NCT06214429Recruiting
Shear wave test for carotid plaque stiffness
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique called shear wave elastography to measure how stiff fatty deposits (plaques) are in your neck arteries. It aims to see whether plaque stiffness can help doctors better understand your stroke risk.
Botucatu, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06916650Recruiting
Comparing therapies for frozen shoulder relief
This study compares three treatments for frozen shoulder: high-intensity laser therapy, steroid injection, and manual therapy. It aims to find which approach works best for reducing pain and improving movement in people with this condition.
CairoAges 40–70 - NCT07216820Recruiting
Nerve blocks for shoulder surgery in obesity
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for shoulder surgery in people with obesity. It tests whether a block that spares the phrenic nerve (which helps you breathe) can keep your breathing strength stronger after surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07212244Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for hard-to-treat tremor
This study uses a focused ultrasound treatment guided by MRI to calm hand tremors in people with essential tremor that hasn't responded to medication. It aims to improve daily life by reducing shaking without the need for surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 22 years+ - NCT06914960Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve radiofrequency for knee pain
This trial tests a treatment that uses radio waves to reduce pain signals from the nerves around the knee. It might help if you have long-lasting knee pain from osteoarthritis and find certain movements very painful.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 30–75 - NCT06918652Recruiting
Surgery or endoscopy for high-risk gallbladder inflammation
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for people with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. It aims to see which approach better helps the immune system and reduces risks for those who are too sick for standard surgery.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06921681Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided biopsy of chest lymph nodes
This trial uses a special ultrasound-guided procedure to take tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in the chest. It aims to improve diagnosis for people who already need a bronchoscopy.
BaselAges 18–90 - NCT06888804Recruiting
Nerve block for chronic heel fracture pain
This study tests a non-surgical treatment (pulsed radiofrequency, or PRF) applied to a nerve in the ankle to see if it can reduce long-term pain after a heel bone (calcaneus) fracture. It may be an option if you have had pain for more than 3 months and other treatments haven't worked.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT06924125Recruiting
Natural history study for LAMA2 muscular dystrophy

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.
