Palma, Balear IslandsAges 40 years+ - NCT06178354Recruiting
Freezing or ultrasound for early prostate cancer
This trial is testing whether freezing (cryotherapy) or using high-frequency ultrasound (HIFU) to destroy only the cancer spots in the prostate is safe and effective for men with early-stage prostate cancer. It's a less invasive option that targets just the tumor, not the whole prostate.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07676695Recruiting
Jaw Device and Sound Waves for Class II Malocclusion
This trial tests a special jaw repositioning device (Twin-Block) combined with low-intensity sound waves (LIPUS) to help treat a class II malocclusion (when the lower jaw is set back) in children and teens. It aims to improve jaw alignment and joint outcomes.
CairoAges 10 months–1.2 years - NCT02151175Enrolling by invitation
Focused ultrasound to treat medication-resistant temporal lobe seizures
This trial tests a low-intensity focused ultrasound treatment aimed at reducing seizures caused by problems in one side of the hippocampus (a brain area involved in memory and seizures). It’s for people whose seizures have not responded to several seizure medicines and who have been offered a specific type of surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT02759744Enrolling by invitation
Laser treatment for certain prostate tumors guided by MRI images
This trial tests whether a precisely targeted laser procedure—guided by MRI images—can treat prostate cancer. It may help some men who have a certain type and location of tumor while aiming to avoid nearby sensitive structures.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01788839Recruiting
Long-term health and fertility study for women with breast cancer
This study follows women with breast cancer and certain lymphomas to understand long-term sexual and reproductive health. It may help researchers better support patients’ body changes and wellness over time during and after treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07405645Recruiting
Focused Ultrasound for Cancer Pain in the Head or Neck
This trial tests a non-invasive focused ultrasound treatment aimed at a specific brain area to reduce severe cancer-related pain in the head, neck, or upper chest. It may help if your pain hasn't responded to standard medications.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT07410000Recruiting
Block for pain after hip replacement
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
BursaAges 18–80 - NCT07411313Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict low blood pressure in older adults having spinal anesthesia
This trial uses ultrasound to check your internal jugular vein, which may help predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia. It aims to find better ways to keep you safe during surgery.
Ankara, YENİMAHALLEAges 65 years+ - NCT07411547Recruiting
Ultrasound for fat buildup in muscles of older adults
This trial uses ultrasound to measure fat inside muscles of hospitalized older adults. It aims to see if this measurement is helpful for assessing health and recovery during rehabilitation.
NantesAges 75 years+ - NCT07412522Recruiting
Pain relief injection for minimally invasive heart bypass surgery
This study tests whether a special injection between the ribs can reduce pain after minimally invasive heart bypass surgery. The injection is given before surgery to help with pain control and may reduce the need for strong pain medicines.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07416279Recruiting
Can tiny bubbles replace catheters for heart pressure checks?
This trial tests if tiny ultrasound contrast bubbles can measure heart pressure, possibly replacing the need for catheter tubes. If you're already getting a heart catheterization, you may be able to join.
LondonAges 21–81 - NCT07420400Recruiting
Detecting heart shunts without needles
This trial uses a specialized ultrasound test (TEE with bubble study) to find a small opening in the heart called a PFO. It may help people who need this test to check for causes of certain health problems.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07420712Recruiting
A Nerve Block for Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery
This study tests a pain-relieving nerve block for the back (serratus posterior superior plane block) given before minimally invasive heart bypass surgery. It aims to see if this block helps with pain control and recovery after surgery.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07427108Recruiting
Road map vs. ultrasound for retrograde leg angioplasty
This trial compares two imaging methods (road map vs. ultrasound) to guide a needle puncture from the ankle area during angioplasty for blocked leg arteries. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for patients with severe leg wounds or ulcers that need this retrograde approach.
