Ultrasound muscle imaging in pregnancy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with a single baby (not twins or more).
- Your pregnancy is between 21 and 24 weeks along, based on your dating ultrasound.
- You are 18 or older and can consent to participate.
- You are under French health insurance (social security).
- If you have a high-risk pregnancy, your doctor has found signs of joint or movement issues in the fetus.

This study looks at whether using ultrasound at the doctor's office helps family doctors make better decisions about muscle and joint problems. If you have pain, swelling, or stiffness, the results may show if ultrasound adds useful information for your care.
This trial tests a new ultrasound system to see if it can take clear pictures of a single baby during pregnancy. It may help improve care for expecting mothers.
This study uses ultrasound to observe how babies move in the womb during routine pregnancy check-ups. It aims to learn more about typical and atypical movement patterns, which may help understand neurodevelopment.
This study uses ultrasound to look at muscle shape and function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to see how these muscle features relate to movement abilities, which could help guide future treatments.
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 trial studies whether a specific ultrasound approach can better detect problems with fetal (baby) growth in the later part of pregnancy. It may help identify concerns earlier so your care team can plan the next steps.
