Recruiting studies
- NCT06440850RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy for high-risk BRAF-mutated thyroid cancer
This trial tests two targeted drugs, vemurafenib and cobimetinib, for people with high-risk thyroid cancer that has a specific BRAF V600E mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can help prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery or other initial treatments.

Comparing clot removal, low-dose clot dissolver, and heparin for high-risk lung clot
This trial compares three treatments for an intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism: a minimally invasive clot removal procedure (embolectomy), a low-dose clot-dissolving medication, or standard blood thinning (heparin). The goal is to see which approach works best to prevent worsening while reducing bleeding risks.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06444269RecruitingPhase 2
Precision radiation before surgery for early hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a focused radiation treatment before surgery for early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. The goal is to give precise radiation only to the tumor, with the hope of reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05865327Recruiting
Nerve freezing for rib-fracture pain using ultrasound guidance
This trial tests whether freezing a specific nerve (a “cryoneurolysis” treatment) through a catheter can better control pain from traumatic rib fractures. It’s offered to adults who have rib fractures soon after hospital admission and can use a pain control method called patient-controlled regional analgesia.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–100 - NCT06426992Recruiting
Microwave ablation for small liver tumors
This study tests a microwave ablation device to destroy small liver tumors (up to 4 cm) using heat, without major surgery. It is designed for patients with limited disease (1 or 2 tumors) and good liver function.
SeoulAges 20–85 - NCT06007794Recruiting
Muscle health study for post-cancer patients
This study uses ultrasound to measure thigh muscle mass and compares it to a whole-body scan. It aims to understand muscle changes after cancer treatment.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18–74 - NCT06401330RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized treatment for pediatric Wilms tumor
This study tailors treatment for children with Wilms tumor based on specific tumor features and risk factors. The goal is to give the right amount of therapy to each patient to minimize side effects while maintaining high cure rates.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT06411795RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two pain relief methods after Whipple surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after Whipple surgery: a long-lasting numbing injection near the belly muscles (rectus sheath block) versus an epidural (a tube placed in your back). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06412081Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide physical therapy for breathing problems
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help guide physical therapy for hospitalized patients with new breathing problems. It aims to make therapy safer and more effective by seeing how the lungs look in real time.
Brussels, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT06406725Recruiting
Detecting vocal cord issues with noninvasive breathing test
This study tests whether a noninvasive breathing support device can detect vocal cord movement problems in children who had heart or airway surgery. It may avoid the need for a scope test.
Queens, New YorkAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06388707RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ultrasound therapy for drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy
This study tests if a new, non-invasive ultrasound treatment can safely reduce seizures in people whose seizures start in the temporal lobe and have not been controlled by at least two anti-epileptic drugs. The ultrasound is delivered through the scalp to gently stimulate the brain area where the seizures begin.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05112705Recruiting
Finding deep vein clots early in ICU patients
This study focuses on diagnosing deep-vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clots in the leg) early in people who are very ill in the ICU. It aims to test an approach to better detect clots sooner, which could help prevent complications.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06377553Enrolling by invitation
PET/MRI scan for endometriosis diagnosis
This study uses a combined PET/MRI scan to better see endometriosis in people who are already scheduled for laparoscopic surgery. It may help find spots of endometriosis that are hard to see with other tests.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT06365905Recruiting
AI ultrasound test for endometrial cancer after menopause
This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to analyze ultrasound images of the uterus to see if it can find early signs of endometrial cancer or a condition called atypical hyperplasia (which can lead to cancer). It may help women with postmenopausal bleeding avoid more invasive biopsies.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 55 years+ - NCT06343974Recruiting
Ultrasound to detect high insulin in unborn babies
This study uses ultrasound images to check for high insulin levels in unborn babies. It may help doctors detect problems early and improve care for moms and babies.
TurkuAges 18–45 - NCT06343831Recruiting
Measuring fat transfer results for breast reconstruction
This trial uses MRI scans to measure how well a patient's own fat stays after breast or chest wall reconstruction. The goal is to improve our understanding of fat transfer procedures.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06336941Recruiting
Ultrasound of the tongue for oral cancer
This study is testing a new way to take pictures of the tongue using a special ultrasound probe that goes inside the mouth. The goal is to see how well this method can show tumor details before surgery.
PisaAges 18 years+ - NCT06321991RecruitingPhase 2
Shrinking palm lumps in Dupuytren disease
This study tests a treatment for people with Dupuytren disease who have a lump (nodule) in their palm but no finger bending yet. It aims to see if the lump can shrink and prevent the disease from getting worse.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06331052Recruiting
Testing a new focused ultrasound treatment for essential tremor
This study is testing a new way to treat essential tremor using focused ultrasound waves guided by MRI to target the part of the brain causing the tremor. The goal is to see if it can reduce tremor without invasive surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 22 years+ - NCT06306976Enrolling by invitation
Shear-wave test before hernia surgery
This trial uses a special ultrasound (shear-wave elastography) to measure tissue stiffness before and after hernia repair. It aims to see if this test can predict complications and help choose the best surgical approach.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06316895Recruiting
Thermal ablation for small, low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is studying a treatment called thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer cells) for people with small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It aims to see how well it works and to predict outcomes.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06316869Recruiting
Ultrasound test for high blood pressure in cirrhosis
This study tests a new, painless ultrasound method to check for high blood pressure in the liver's main blood vessel. It aims to avoid more invasive tests for people with cirrhosis. It might help doctors tell if you are at risk of bleeding without a catheter procedure.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06296472Recruiting
Comparing hand therapy for De Quervain's disease after steroid injection
This trial compares two types of hand therapy for patients with De Quervain's disease, a painful condition affecting the thumb tendons. One group receives standard hand therapy, while the other gets a new approach after an ultrasound-guided steroid injection.

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.
