Ultrasound may make bone marrow biopsies less painful and more accurate
NCT ID NCT05258357
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide a bone marrow biopsy is better than the usual method of feeling for landmarks on the body. The researchers will compare pain, sample quality, and procedure time in 100 hospitalized adults. If ultrasound helps, it could lead to more comfortable and successful biopsies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ultrasound-assisted bone marrow biopsy procedure
- What this could lead to
- If ultrasound guidance proves better, it could become the standard method for bone marrow biopsies, making them less painful and more reliable.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) comparing two techniques, so results may not apply to all patients or settings. The benefits of ultrasound are not yet proven.
