NCT ID NCT05258357

First seen Nov 06, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study compares two methods for guiding bone marrow biopsies: the standard approach using touch to find the right spot, and a newer method using ultrasound imaging. Researchers want to see if ultrasound leads to less pain, better samples, and smoother procedures. About 100 adult inpatients will take part, and the results will help doctors choose the best technique.
