Patch-style neck ultrasound vs. standard ultrasound
This study tests a new small patch-like ultrasound device that you wear on your neck to check your carotid arteries (the main blood vessels in your neck). It compares how well this portable device works compared to a standard larger ultrasound machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 79 years old.
- You must be in good general health with no major health problems found during a checkup.
- You cannot have had any heart or blood vessel disease (like a stroke or heart attack).
- You must not have thickening or plaque buildup in your carotid (neck) arteries.
- You cannot have an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) or a BMI over 35, and you must not be pregnant.

This study uses different ultrasound techniques to look at plaques in the neck artery and predict future heart or stroke events. It may help doctors understand which plaques are more dangerous.
This study tests if using ultrasound on the neck can help improve blood pressure in people with mild to moderate shock. It may offer a non-invasive way to support standard shock treatment.
This study looks at an imaging test to see whether signs of new blood-vessel growth in an artery predict future stroke risk in people who have carotid artery narrowing but no symptoms. If it works, it could help doctors identify who may need closer monitoring or preventive treatment.
This trial is testing a special ultrasound (called transcranial Doppler) to monitor blood flow during a procedure to open a narrowed carotid artery in your neck. The ultrasound helps doctors see if the procedure is safe and working well.
This study uses ultrasound (sound waves) to take pictures of the heart and the main neck arteries in healthy children across Italy. It helps doctors learn what normal measurements look like for different ages.
This study tests if a small ultrasound patch on the neck can find a pulse in people having a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors know if blood is flowing during emergency treatment.
