The overactivated inflammatory response in COVID-19 patients is associated with a high risk of critical illness or even death. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can mitigate inflammation and inhibit edema formation. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of LIPUS therapy for COVID-19 pneumonia.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Materials and Methods 62 patients were randomly assigned to a treatment group (LIPUS treatment area \u2013 Group 1; self-control area \u2013 Group 2) and an external control group (Group 3). The primary outcomes were the volume absorption rate (VAR) and the area absorption rate (AAR) of lung inflammation in CT images.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results After an average duration of treatment 7.2 days, there were significant differences in AAR and VAR between Group 1 and Group 2 (AAR 0.25 vs 0.12, p=0.013; VAR 0.35 vs 0.11, p=0.005), and between Group 1 and Group 3 (AAR 0.25 vs 0.11, p=0.047; VAR 0.35 vs 0.19, p=0.042). Neither AAR nor VAR was statistically different between Group 2 and Group 3. After treatment, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, leukocyte, and fingertip arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) improved in Group 1, while in Group 3 only fingertip SaO2 increased.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion LIPUS therapy reduced lung inflammation and serum inflammatory factor levels in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, which might be a major advancement in COVID-19 pneumonia
