Ultrasound for joint and muscle 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 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 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 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 to look for early signs of joint inflammation (synovitis) in people with lupus who don't have joint symptoms yet. The goal is to see if these hidden signs relate to disease activity and a blood marker called neutrophil-to-C3 ratio.
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 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 check if thickened joint lining (synovium) in people with severe hemophilia is a sign of active inflammation or just a harmless leftover. It may help doctors decide whether to treat or watch these joints.
