Ultrasound imaging for wrist and ankle injuries
This study tests a new ultrasound device that helps doctors see broken bones in the wrist, forearm, ankle, or lower leg, using sound waves instead of X-rays. If you are getting an X-ray for one of these injuries, your images may be checked with this new device to see if it works as well.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 5 years+ - NCT07866768Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment to clear brain waste in early memory loss
This study tests a low-intensity ultrasound treatment aimed at helping the brain clear out harmful protein buildup linked to Alzheimer's disease. It is for people 65 and older with mild cognitive impairment (slight but noticeable memory problems) and a positive test for amyloid, a protein in the brain.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT06243497Recruiting
Comparing eye fluid and tear markers before and after UCP
This study compares levels of inflammatory markers (cytokines) in the fluid inside your eye and your tears before and after a procedure called UCP (ultrasound cycloplasty) to treat glaucoma. It aims to understand how the eye responds, which may lead to better treatments for high eye pressure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06327594Recruiting
Muscle loss check in lung cancer surgery patients
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with lung cancer who are about to have surgery. It uses a CT or MRI scan to check your muscle health, which may help doctors better plan your care.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 40–100 - NCT05923736Recruiting
Study of cardiovascular risk in people with digital osteoarthritis
This study looks at how heart-and-blood-vessel risk differs in people with digital osteoarthritis (arthritis affecting the fingers). It may help doctors understand whether finger osteoarthritis is linked with higher cardiovascular risk.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT05649826Recruiting
Ultrasound guidance tool for clearer heart ultrasound images
