Predicting muscle weakness in children on a breathing machine
This study aims to predict muscle weakness that can happen to children on breathing machines in the ICU. It could help doctors start treatments earlier to prevent this weakness.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1 month–18 years - NCT06669494Enrolling by invitation
Study on ICU muscle weakness detection and monitoring
This study aims to find better ways to detect and track muscle weakness that can happen during an ICU stay. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could help improve early diagnosis and care.
Seoul, SeoulAges 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07130929Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for muscle weakness after severe stroke
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation technique, called functional electrical stimulation, can help patients recover muscle strength after a severe stroke that left them weak in the arms and legs. It may offer a new way to aid rehabilitation in the early months after stroke.
Florence, FIAges 18–80 - NCT07191743Recruiting
Functional Assessment in ICU Patients
This study observes how well adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) can function in daily activities, like moving and caring for themselves. It aims to understand recovery and may help improve care for future ICU patients.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT05865314Recruiting
Nutrition plus early therapy for adults in long ICU stays
This trial studies whether a planned nutrition plan, along with early physiotherapy (physical therapy), can improve outcomes for adults who expect to stay in the ICU for at least 7 days. It includes people who need feeding through a tube and/or special IV nutrition while on a breathing machine.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06973746Recruiting
Sitting up in a chair in the ICU for patients on breathing machines
This study tests whether getting patients who are on a breathing machine to sit in a chair helps them recover better. It looks at whether this simple activity can improve how well they get back to normal function.
Orléans, Centre-Val de LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT05537298Recruiting
Help for muscle recovery after serious ICU illness
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06193980Recruiting
ICU recovery exercise test study
This trial looks at how well your heart and lungs work together after a long stay in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a simple exercise test to check your recovery after leaving the hospital.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT06184945Recruiting
Study of ICU staffing and support strategies
This study looks at how different staffing and support strategies may help patients who need a breathing machine in the ICU. Researchers want to see if these approaches can improve care and recovery.
Iowa City, IowaAges 19 years+ - NCT06373341Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for arm and hand after ICU stay
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) games can help you regain movement and strength in your arms and hands after a long hospital stay in the ICU. It is designed for people who live in the Frisian region of the Netherlands and can understand Dutch.
Leeuwarden, Provincie FrieslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05218083Recruiting
Mobile rehab program with interval exercise after COVID-19
This trial tests a coach-supported, phone-based rehabilitation program that includes high-intensity interval-style exercise for people recovering from COVID-19 after a hospital stay. It may help improve breathing, strength, and walking by providing structured exercise at home.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05919940Recruiting
Testing a muscle stimulation and extra protein plan in ICU patients
This trial tests whether electrical muscle stimulation plus extra protein (protein substitute) can improve muscle health and metabolism in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you’re newly admitted and expected to stay on a breathing machine for several days, it may help you keep more muscle strength during recovery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07017517Recruiting
Exercise therapy for weakness after sepsis in the ICU
This trial tests whether adding physical therapy early in the ICU can help people with sepsis regain strength and reduce muscle weakness. It focuses on patients who need a breathing tube for at least a week and have a high level of organ failure.
Santiago, Metropolitan RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06420999Recruiting
Diaphragm weakness after breathing support in the ICU
This study looks at how common diaphragm weakness is in people who have been on breathing support in the ICU. If you are coming off that support, researchers want to learn if your diaphragm strength affects your recovery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03810768Recruiting
Metabolomics study of ICU-acquired weakness after surgery
This study looks at blood and body chemistry (called metabolomics) to understand and possibly predict muscle weakness that can happen in the ICU after surgery. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or monitor this problem.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05279547Recruiting
Bed-cycle exercise study to test muscle oxygen during ICU care
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05671614Recruiting
Prevent muscle stem cell failure after critical illness
This trial studies ways to improve recovery of skeletal muscle in people who have been very sick in the ICU. It focuses on preventing problems with the body’s muscle “repair cells” after critical illness.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT06700694Recruiting
Helping ICU patients move early with technology
This trial tests a technology-assisted program to help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) start moving earlier while on a breathing machine. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications from being in bed for too long.
