Recruiting studies
- NCT07549880Recruiting
Ultrasound to detect infections after abdominal surgery
This study tests whether bedside ultrasound—a simple imaging tool used at your hospital bed—can help doctors spot surgical infections early after abdominal surgery. Catching infections sooner might help you recover faster and avoid serious complications.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07557108Recruiting
Nerve Blocks to Improve Recovery After Heart Surgery
This study tests whether special numbing injections around nerves in the chest wall (fascial plane blocks) help patients recover better and have less pain after open-heart surgery. The goal is to see if this technique improves how you feel and function in the days after your operation.
Ordu, AltinorduAges 18–70 - NCT07577232Recruiting
Ultrasound imaging for diagnosing throat abscesses
This trial tests whether using ultrasound (sound wave imaging) through the mouth helps doctors better diagnose a throat abscess—a pocket of infection near the tonsil. The goal is to see if this imaging method improves diagnosis accuracy and treatment decisions.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07633184Recruiting
Lung Ultrasound to Predict Breathing Problems in Premature Babies
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
ModenaAges Up to 7 months - NCT07454005Enrolling by invitation
Laser tool for wrist artery access in children
This study tests a new laser-guided tool to help doctors place a small tube in the wrist artery of babies and young children during surgery. It aims to make the procedure faster and safer for your child.
Changchun, JilinAges 1 day–2 years - NCT07298876Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound for memory and sleep in early Alzheimer's
This study tests if a gentle ultrasound treatment to the brain can help improve memory and sleep quality in people with very early Alzheimer's disease. If you have mild memory issues and trouble sleeping, this low-intensity approach might be a safe option to explore.
Hong Kong, Tai Po DistrictAges 60–85 - NCT07203040Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound therapy for neck pain relief and muscle stiffness
This trial tests if a gentle ultrasound treatment can reduce neck pain and stiffness. It may be an option if you have ongoing neck pain and haven't had neck procedures recently.
ErzurumAges 18–50 - NCT07185516Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound to predict difficult airway in children
This trial uses ultrasound to measure children's airways before surgery, aiming to predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It could help doctors prepare better and keep kids safer during anesthesia.
CairoAges 7–12 - NCT07093229Enrolling by invitation
Gait analysis for knee arthritis in seniors
This trial studies how walking patterns change in people over 65 with long-term knee osteoarthritis. It aims to understand gait to improve treatment and rehabilitation plans.
CraiovaAges 65–80 - NCT07046234Enrolling by invitation
Lung ultrasound for people with shortness of breath
This trial uses a portable ultrasound at the bedside (called point-of-care lung ultrasound) to quickly examine the lungs of people who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see how well this test works for finding lung problems in the hospital or clinic.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 22 years+ - NCT06932185Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound brain stimulation for movement disorders
This study tests if low-intensity ultrasound can safely change brain activity patterns in people with movement disorders like Parkinson's. You may be eligible if you already have a special brain implant that can record brain signals.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT05834829Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound scan to study the body’s automatic (stress) responses
This trial tests a low-intensity ultrasound approach while measuring how your nervous system and body respond automatically (like changes in heart rate or stress signals). It may help researchers learn how to stimulate or monitor these responses safely, using imaging and standard monitoring.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT02948361Enrolling by invitation
Testing a breast scan device on healthy volunteers
This study tests how well a new breast scanning device works in people who volunteer. You may be eligible if you can safely tolerate the scan and fit your breast into the device.
Novato, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07756307Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for calcium deposits in the shoulder
This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment called shock wave therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with calcium deposits in the shoulder tendon. It uses sound waves to break up the deposits, which may relieve pain and help you move better.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 20–70 - NCT07681648Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Nerve blocks vs local numbing for lumbar spine surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (a longissimus plane block and a multifidus plane block) to a local numbing injection for pain control during lumbar spine surgery. It aims to find which method works best for patients having back surgery.
Aswān, Aswan GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT04251052Recruiting
Compare two surgeries to lower ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 carriers
This study compares two risk-reducing surgery plans for people with a BRCA1 genetic change to see which approach helps lower ovarian cancer risk. You may be asked to have the study procedure sooner or later depending on your chosen plan.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 35–50 - NCT05964439Recruiting
Testing augmented reality guidance for ultrasound procedures
This study tests whether an augmented reality (computer-generated overlay) app can help people perform ultrasound scans more easily and accurately. You may be eligible if you are trained/experienced with using ultrasound at the bedside and you have not used the specific HoloUS app version before.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–100 - NCT07745881Recruiting
Pain relief after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a nerve block that may reduce pain after surgery for lung cancer. It's a technique that numbs a specific area in the back to help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06999798RecruitingPhase 1
A better ultrasound marker for lymph nodes in breast cancer
This trial tests a new ultrasound marker to help surgeons find and remove cancer-positive lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery. The marker makes the node easier to see on ultrasound so it can be taken out accurately.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05610852Recruiting
Surgery through the bladder opening versus focused ultrasound for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat early prostate cancer: a single small surgery through the bladder versus high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). It aims to see which approach works better while keeping side effects and recovery acceptable.
Cleveland, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT07079904Recruiting
Laser and ultrasound for IV placement in heart surgery
This trial tests a new method using laser and ultrasound guidance to place a small tube (IV) in a vein for patients having heart surgery. It may help make the procedure faster and safer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06960876Recruiting
Ultrasound vs. sinus massage for chronic sinusitis
This study compares two treatments for chronic sinusitis: ultrasound therapy (sound waves applied to the face) and sinus massage (gentle pressure on the face). Both are non-drug options that may help relieve your symptoms.
IslamabadAges 20–60 - NCT06947642Recruiting
Comparing numbing blocks for breast surgery
This study compares three ways of numbing the chest muscle and rib area with ultrasound during breast surgery to see which one works best for pain control. If you are having breast surgery and want to help improve pain management, this might be a good fit.

Pain relief after hysterectomy: nerve block vs spinal morphine
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open abdominal hysterectomy: a nerve block (rectus sheath block) or morphine given through a spinal injection. The goal is to find which method works better with fewer side effects.

- 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.
