Recruiting studies
- NCT07162948Recruiting
Home monitoring technology for ICU recovery
This study tests a smart technology box that helps monitor your health at home after a stay in the ICU. It may help you and your doctors keep track of your recovery more easily.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07759310Recruiting
Teamwork training for ICU nurses to reduce delirium
This study is testing a training program that helps ICU nurses improve how they prevent and manage delirium (a state of confusion that can happen in hospital). If you are an ICU nurse, this training could help you feel more confident in caring for patients with this condition.
Pisa, PIAges 18 years+ - NCT07362862Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation to prevent ICU weakness
This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, helping prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients with severe infections. It may help you recover strength faster and avoid long-term disability.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT07699562Recruiting
EMG device study in healthy people and ICU patients
This study tests a device that records muscle activity (EMG) in healthy volunteers and critically ill patients in the ICU. It aims to learn how well the device works in different groups, which could help monitor muscle function in the future.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT07692035Recruiting
AI teaching tool for new ICU residents
This trial studies whether a new AI teaching tool helps ICU residents learn more effectively during their rotation. You'll use the AI tool on a regular device and complete short check-ins over 2 weeks.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–40 - NCT06697470Recruiting
Ultrasound and fluid monitoring in the ICU
This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.
Boussu, HainautAges 18 years+ - NCT07195383Recruiting
Safe swallowing check after breathing tube removal in ICU
This study tests a special nutrition program for patients who just had a breathing tube removed in the ICU. It aims to see if a safe swallowing check can help prevent problems and make feeding safer.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07150650Enrolling by invitation
Biomarkers for ICU weakness in children on breathing machines
This study looks for early warning signs (biomarkers) of muscle weakness that can happen in children who need a breathing machine for more than a few days. If your child is in the PICU on a ventilator for at least 3 days, this team may be able to test for clues that help prevent or manage this weakness.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07048951Recruiting
Memory and awareness after ICU: understanding moments of disconnect
This trial studies episodes of lost or altered consciousness that some people experience after a long stay in the ICU. It aims to understand how these episodes affect memory and recovery.
Liège, LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT05891873Recruiting
Study delirium during ICU care for stroke patients
This study looks at “delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen during critical care, in people receiving ICU treatment for stroke. It includes both adults and children in specific ICU settings and may help clinicians better prevent or manage confusion during recovery.
BrnoAges Any age - NCT07869901Recruiting
Sleep and light therapy for recovery in the ICU
This study tests whether helping ICU patients sleep better and keeping their body clock on a normal day-night rhythm can improve recovery after surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07842510Recruiting
Controlled oxygen for copd flare-ups in the icu
This trial tests whether giving oxygen in a carefully controlled way (using a target range) works better than standard oxygen treatment for people in the ICU with a COPD flare-up. It aims to see if the controlled approach leads to better outcomes, like helping you recover faster.
Mahdia, Mahdia GovernorateAges 40 years+ - NCT06452966Recruiting
Traditional Chinese medicine for organ failure in ICU
This trial is studying whether adding traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to standard care can help patients in the surgical ICU recover from organ failure. It looks at how TCM might support your body's organs during critical illness.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT07781540Recruiting
Iron deficiency at ICU discharge
This study checks if patients leaving the ICU have low iron levels. It may help doctors understand and treat iron deficiency after a serious illness.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07744945Enrolling by invitation
External catheters for urine monitoring in the ICU
This study tests two types of external catheters (devices worn outside the body) to see how well they measure urine output in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. It may help avoid the need for a tube inserted into the bladder.
Murray, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07691710Enrolling by invitation
Blood gases and pressure injury risk in ICU patients
This study looks at how blood oxygen levels and other measures relate to the risk of pressure injuries (bedsores) in people staying in the intensive care unit for at least 3 days. It may help find ways to prevent these injuries.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07632131Recruiting
Storytelling therapy to prevent PTSD after heart surgery
This study tests whether a special therapy called narrative exposure—where you talk through your surgery experience with a trained counselor—can help prevent PTSD (post-traumatic stress) in people recovering from heart surgery in the ICU. The goal is to help you process what happened so you feel less distressed afterward.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07631260Enrolling by invitation
ICU Diary Help for Caregiver Sleep and Stress
This study tests whether keeping a diary about your loved one's ICU stay helps you sleep better, feel less tired, and manage stress. You would be a family member or caregiver of someone on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit.
Taichung, Not in USAAges 20 years+ - NCT07613021Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Training to Help ICU Patients Stop Using Ventilators
This trial tests whether special breathing exercises can help patients who have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU for at least 3 days get off the machine more successfully. The exercises focus on strengthening the muscles you use to breathe in.
ChalcisAges 18 years+ - NCT07596589RecruitingPhase 3
Remimazolam sedation for breathing-machine patients in ICU
This study tests whether a sedative medication called remimazolam helps patients on breathing machines (ventilators) in the ICU recover better and have fewer complications. You would receive this medication to keep you calm and comfortable while on the ventilator.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07585500Recruiting
Virtual Reality to Help Recovery in ICU Patients

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for icu?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 271 recruiting icu studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a icu trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a icu trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
