Ultrasound to help family doctors assess muscle and joint problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.

This study uses ultrasound (a safe imaging test using sound waves) to look for hidden joint problems in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis). The goal is to find early signs of joint inflammation before they cause symptoms, which may lead to better care.
This study uses ultrasound imaging to help doctors tell whether painful, swollen joints are caused by gout or another condition like rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to make diagnosis faster and less invasive, which may help guide your treatment early on.
This study uses ultrasound to look for hidden changes in joints and tendons in people who have gout. It may help doctors better understand what ultrasound can show in gout, but it doesn’t sound like it’s testing a new medicine.
This study uses ultrasound to look at joint and muscle problems in people with blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. It aims to better understand and manage these symptoms, which may improve quality of life.
This study uses sound waves (ultrasound) to look at your thigh and hand muscles. The goal is to see if ultrasound pictures can predict how strong these muscles are. It will help doctors measure muscle health without difficult tests.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to look at fetal muscles in pregnant women, which might help detect joint or movement problems early. It aims to see if the technique is feasible and could improve prenatal diagnosis.
