ULTRASOUND

This study tested whether ultrasound can accurately diagnose mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by measuring the median nerve. Researchers compared ultrasound results with standard nerve tests and checked how they related to pain, symptoms, and quality of life in 75 pe…

This study tested whether a noninvasive ultrasound done on the outside of the perineum (transperineal) can accurately measure cervical length in pregnant women, compared to the standard internal (endovaginal) method. Researchers enrolled 85 women in their second or third trimeste…

This study tested whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) can safely reduce cravings in people with cocaine use disorder. 25 adults received either real or fake (sham) ultrasound while their brain activity was measured with MRI. The goal was to see if LIFU lowers craving …

This study tested two different pain-relief methods for children aged 1 to 7 having hernia surgery. One method uses an ultrasound to guide a numbing injection near the belly muscles, while the other is a standard injection near the tailbone. The goal was to see which one keeps ch…

This study tested two methods—ultrasound and Brainlab navigation—to deliver a nerve block (numbing injection) during sinus surgery. The goal was to see which technique provides a clearer surgical field by reducing bleeding. Sixty adults undergoing sinus surgery were randomly assi…

This study tested whether having patients stand during an ultrasound helps doctors see small liver tumors near the diaphragm that are often missed when lying down. Researchers scanned 95 people with confirmed liver lesions in three positions: standing, lying on their back, and ly…

This completed observational study looked at 84 people to understand how diabetic polyneuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes) changes the median nerve in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers used advanced ultrasound techniques, including shear wave elastography and m…

This completed study used ultrasound to examine the structure of nerves in the neck (the brachial plexus) in 200 adults scheduled for elective surgery. Researchers recorded how many nerve bundles were visible at different nerve roots. The goal was to better understand normal anat…

This study tested whether dexmedetomidine, a sedative often used during surgery, changes how quickly the stomach empties in people having their gallbladder removed. Researchers used ultrasound to measure stomach volume in 80 patients before and after surgery. The goal was to see …
