ULTRASOUND

This completed study looked at whether ultrasound measurements of the median nerve can help diagnose mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Researchers compared 75 healthy people and CTS patients, measuring nerve size and shape. They also checked how these ultrasound find…

This study tested whether a noninvasive ultrasound done on the belly (transperineal) can accurately measure cervical length in pregnant women, compared to the standard internal ultrasound. The goal is to find a less uncomfortable way to check for a short cervix, which can signal …

This study tested two ways to manage pain in children after hernia surgery: an ultrasound-guided block near the belly muscle and a standard caudal block. Fifty children aged 1 to 7 took part. The goal was to see which method delays the need for extra pain medicine and reduces ove…

This study tested two methods to numb a nerve cluster in the nose during sinus surgery: one using ultrasound and the other using a computer navigation system. The goal was to see which method better reduces bleeding and improves the surgeon's view. Sixty adults having sinus surge…

This completed study looked at 84 people to understand how diabetic polyneuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes) changes the median nerve in those with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers used special ultrasound techniques to measure nerve stiffness and blood flow, and compared sy…

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. 95 adults with known liver lesions underwent scans in standing, lying on their back, and lying on their side. The go…

This study used ultrasound to look at the structure of nerves in the neck (the brachial plexus) in 200 healthy adults scheduled for surgery. The goal was to better understand how these nerves appear on ultrasound, which can help doctors perform nerve blocks more safely. No treatm…

This study looked at how dexmedetomidine, a sedative used during surgery, affects stomach emptying in 80 adults having their gallbladder removed. Researchers used ultrasound to measure stomach volume before and after surgery. The goal was to better understand how this drug might …
