Recruiting studies
- NCT06198816Recruiting
Ultrasound and balloon treatment for old leg clots
This study tests a new way to treat long-standing blood clots in the leg using ultrasound waves and a balloon procedure. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like swelling and pain for people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
Milan, ItalyAges 18–75 - NCT06078852Recruiting
FSHD Diaphragm Ultrasound Study
This study uses ultrasound to look at the diaphragm in people with FSHD. It aims to better understand how FSHD affects breathing muscles over time.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05922085Recruiting
Ultrasound check to spot swallowing trouble after ICU care
This trial tests whether bedside ultrasound can help identify people at risk for swallowing problems that can start after time in the ICU and on a breathing machine. If you’re at risk early, the goal is to guide the care team to take steps sooner to prevent complications.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05649826Recruiting
Ultrasound guidance tool for clearer heart ultrasound images
This trial tests an automated computer tool that helps guide an ultrasound exam of the heart, aiming to get better, usable images. You may benefit if your heart ultrasound is usually hard to capture or takes extra effort to obtain clear pictures.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–120 - NCT05739149Recruiting
Ultrasound checks how chronic foot ulcers heal
This study tests a special ultrasound scan to see how chronic diabetic or venous foot ulcers are healing. The goal is to use the scan to better track wound improvement and guide care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05538286Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment after brain bleed surgery
This trial studies whether a special form of ultrasound through the skull can improve recovery after a spontaneous brain bleed that requires minimally invasive surgery. It may help by targeting the damaged brain tissue after evacuation, and the study will follow participants for up to a year.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05188092Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide fluid removal in ICU patients
This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06740994Recruiting
Comparing two spinal anesthesia methods for elderly hip surgery
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia to people over 65 having hip fracture surgery. It aims to see if using ultrasound guidance works better than the traditional hand-feel method.
Nabeul, MrazgaAges 65 years+ - NCT03342625Recruiting
Focused ultrasound treatment for certain breast tumors
This trial tests whether high-intensity focused ultrasound (a targeted heat treatment) can treat some types of breast tumors and potentially reduce the need for more invasive surgery. It may help people who have specific tumor features and who are able to safely undergo MRI and the required positioning.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT04063514Enrolling by invitation
MRI-focused ultrasound study of blood-brain barrier in low-grade glioma
This study uses special imaging during routine MRI scans to check how well the blood-brain barrier lets substances pass in people with low-grade brain tumors. It may help researchers better measure and track treatment effects over time.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04582279Recruiting
Lung ultrasound test to rule out rejection after lung transplant
This study checks whether a painless lung ultrasound can help tell when rejection is unlikely after a lung transplant. If it works, it could reduce the need for other tests in people who feel well.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04216199Recruiting
Ultrasound guidance for putting a breathing tube in children
This trial studies whether a quick bedside ultrasound exam can help place a breathing (endotracheal) tube correctly in children. If successful, it may make tube placement faster and reduce the chance of misplacement.
TantaAges Up to 18 years - NCT02621645RecruitingPhase 4
Early vs late treatment for twin reversed blood flow
This study compares two timing approaches for treating a rare twin complication called twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP). It aims to see whether starting treatment earlier or later leads to better baby outcomes and safety for the mother.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02382601Recruiting
Study of pregnancies with slow fetal growth
This study follows pregnancies where the baby appears smaller than expected on ultrasound. It may help researchers better understand why this happens and how to monitor care over time.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–45 - NCT07661433Recruiting
Testing an AI tool to estimate baby weight before birth
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can more accurately estimate a baby's weight using ultrasound, compared to standard methods. If you're about to give birth, this study may help improve how doctors predict your baby's size.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06361498Recruiting
Ultrasound to check G-tube position in children
This study tests if ultrasound can quickly and safely check the position of a G-tube (feeding tube) that has moved or come out. It looks for a possible alternative to X-rays for children.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06460792Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks database study
This trial is building a database to study ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (injecting numbing medicine around nerves using ultrasound). It may help researchers learn how to better manage pain.
HillerødAges 2 years+ - NCT07139522Recruiting
Dexamethasone or magnesium for pain relief after C-section
This trial tests adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to the numbing medicine given as a back injection (erector spinae plane block) to see if it provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for extra painkillers after surgery.
CairoAges 18–35 - NCT07605533Recruiting
Ultrasound accuracy for detecting abdominal scar tissue before surgery
This study tests whether an ultrasound scan can accurately predict scar tissue inside the abdomen before a planned minimally invasive surgery. This could help doctors prepare better for surgery and reduce complications.
SohagAges Any age - NCT07616440Recruiting
Ultrasound drug delivery with chemotherapy for HER2-positive breast cancer
This study tests a new technique that uses focused ultrasound to deliver cancer drugs directly to breast tumors, combined with standard chemotherapy. The goal is to improve treatment effectiveness for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06371755Recruiting
Comparing two bone density tests: ultrasound vs X-ray
This study compares two ways to measure bone density: a standard X-ray method (DXA) and a newer ultrasound method (REMS). If you are a woman scheduled for a DXA scan, you may help researchers see if the ultrasound test is just as accurate and easier to use.
Milan, MIAges 30–80 - NCT06803628Recruiting
Ultrasound to rule out bowel blockage in ER
This study tests if an ER doctor can use a bedside ultrasound to quickly rule out a bowel blockage, so you might avoid a CT scan. You'll get the ultrasound plus a CT scan to compare how well the ultrasound works.
Clermont-Ferrand, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07090512Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict kidney risk after transplant
This study uses ultrasound of donor kidneys to predict the risk of kidney problems after transplant. It may help doctors better understand transplant outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06620471Recruiting
Better nerve blocks with impedance testing
This study looks at whether adding impedance testing to ultrasound guidance improves accuracy for arm and leg nerve blocks. If you need a nerve block for surgery, this may help us learn how to make them safer and more effective.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ultrasound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,217 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.
