Stomach ultrasound before pain procedures under sedation
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at how full your stomach is before your pain procedure. This may help doctors decide the safest way to give you sedation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled for a chronic pain procedure that uses sedation, like an injection or nerve block.
- You must be able to fast before the procedure: no clear liquids for at least 6 hours and no solid food for at least 8 hours.
- You must have at least one risk factor for slow stomach emptying, such as daily opioid use, diabetes without nerve damage, acid reflux, or limited mobility.
- You cannot have had stomach or esophagus surgery, be pregnant, have a hiatal hernia, or have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher.

This study uses an ultrasound to check the stomach contents of people with type 2 diabetes before elective surgery. It aims to understand if diabetes affects how fast the stomach empties, which could help prevent complications during surgery.
This study tests whether ultrasound scans of the stomach before surgery help keep children safe during anesthesia. Researchers will measure how full the stomach is to make sure children are ready for surgery.
This study uses ultrasound to look at your stomach before a planned C-section to help make anesthesia safer and more comfortable.
This trial uses a stomach ultrasound (called gastric POCUS) to check if your stomach is empty before surgery. It is for patients taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar) to help make sure it is safe to proceed with anesthesia.
This study compares using an ultrasound before a gastroscopy (a tube with a camera to look inside your stomach) with the usual method of suctioning stomach contents. It aims to see if ultrasound can predict what is in the stomach, which may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
This trial studies using an ultrasound scan of the stomach before general anesthesia in children having planned (elective) surgery. The goal is to better understand stomach fullness and improve safety around anesthesia.
