ULTRASONOGRAPHY

This study looks at two ways to train non-radiologist doctors and nurses in rural Rwandan hospitals to perform breast ultrasound. The goal is to help women get diagnosed with breast cancer earlier, without having to travel to a big city hospital. About 1,792 women will take part,…

This study looks at whether having more sessions of shock wave therapy (ESWT) helps people with long-term heel pain (plantar fasciitis) feel better and move easier. About 57 adults with pain lasting at least 3 months will be split into groups getting different numbers of ESWT ses…

This study compares two types of IV catheters in 104 newborns with congenital syphilis who need 10 days of antibiotics. One group gets a standard short catheter, the other a longer catheter placed using ultrasound by a specialized nurse. The goal is to see which lasts longer and …

This study tests whether adding fascial therapy (a type of hands-on tissue manipulation) to standard electrotherapy can improve pain, movement, and joint awareness in people with frozen shoulder. Thirty-six adults aged 35-60 will be split into two groups: one gets only electrothe…

This study will test whether adding exercise training to standard electrotherapy (heat, TENS, ultrasound) helps people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) more than electrotherapy alone. Thirty-two adults aged 35-60 will be split into two groups and treated for 3 weeks. Re…

This study looks at whether using ultrasound to measure neck tissue thickness can better predict difficult airway in obese patients undergoing surgery. Researchers will compare ultrasound measurements with standard tests in 52 adults. The goal is to improve safety during anesthes…

This study looks at whether a simple, non-invasive ultrasound can predict the risk of dangerous bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus (varices) in people with liver cirrhosis. Researchers will measure spleen size and a key blood vessel diameter on ultrasound and compare t…

This study looks at whether placing a catheter in a neck vein changes pressure inside the skull. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath and carotid artery in 61 adults under general anesthesia. The goal is to understand short-term effects, not to test a…
