Ultrasound check of buttock muscle for people on antipsychotic shots
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the buttock muscle in people who get antipsychotic injections. It aims to see how the muscle is affected, which may help improve injection care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are currently receiving antipsychotic medication as a shot (depot injection), or you are a healthy volunteer
- You can understand and agree to take part (provide informed consent)
- You do not have an active infection where the shot is given
- You have not had surgery that makes ultrasound of the buttock area difficult

This study tests whether a targeted injection, done with ultrasound guidance, can safely reduce buttock pain caused by piriformis syndrome—a condition where a muscle in the buttock presses on a nerve. If you've had buttock pain that sometimes travels down your leg, this treatment might help ease the discomfort.
This study uses ultrasound scans to measure muscle mass in people with metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors understand how these conditions affect muscles and could lead to better care.
This study tests whether adding a special fluid injection around the piriformis muscle to a standard ultrasound-guided injection provides better pain relief for people with piriformis syndrome. If you qualify, you'll receive the injection and be followed for a short time to see how well it works.
This study checks how reliably different physical therapists can measure muscles and nerves using ultrasound in patients who are awake and stable in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to improve muscle assessment techniques for critically ill adults.
This study is testing a safer way to give trigger point injections — shots that relieve painful muscle knots — in the upper back. Researchers will use ultrasound to guide the needle and measure how close it is to the lungs, to avoid complications.
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.
