Ultrasound for muscle and joint problems in blood cancer patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at muscles and joints in people with blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. If you have bone or joint pain, this imaging may help doctors understand and manage your symptoms better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether an ultrasound scan can help your primary care doctor make better decisions about muscle, bone, or joint problems. You would receive an ultrasound in addition to your usual check-up.
This study uses ultrasound with elastography (a special way to see how stiff or soft your muscles are) to check muscle health in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help doctors find muscle problems early.
This trial uses a harmless ultrasound to check for early, non-obvious joint and muscle problems in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) who have not been diagnosed with arthritis.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound technique can detect early kidney damage in children and teens with acute lymphatic leukemia, before standard tests show any problems.
This study uses ultrasound to measure thigh muscle mass and compares it to a whole-body scan. It aims to understand muscle changes after cancer treatment.
This study uses a special ultrasound to find early signs of joint swelling in people with lupus who don't yet have joint symptoms. It aims to see if these ultrasound signs relate to how active the disease is and a blood test marker.
