Recruiting studies
- NCT07585500Recruiting
Virtual Reality to Help Recovery in ICU Patients
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) glasses can help patients recover better after spending time in the intensive care unit. The VR program is designed to help regain strength, movement, and mental function during recovery.
Porto, Porto DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT05922085Recruiting

This trial tests whether bedside ultrasound can help identify people at risk for swallowing problems that can start after time in the ICU and on a breathing machine. If you’re at risk early, the goal is to guide the care team to take steps sooner to prevent complications.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07514650Recruiting
Citrate Blood Thinner Safety in Critical Kidney Care
This study tests whether a specific blood-thinning method using citrate works safely and effectively in critically ill patients whose kidneys have suddenly stopped working and need a special filtering machine. Researchers want to confirm that this approach prevents dangerous blood clots while keeping patients safe.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06923813Recruiting
Measuring nutrient absorption in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study checks how well patients who are still in the hospital after an ICU stay absorb the nutrients from their tube feeding. A special test called bomb calorimetry will measure the calories in stool to see if the body is getting the energy it needs.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07649876Recruiting
Virtual Reality to Reduce Anxiety in Critically Ill Patients
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset—which shows calming scenes like nature—can help reduce anxiety, agitation, and confusion in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if VR can help patients feel more comfortable during their recovery.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06499389Recruiting
Breathing muscle therapy for hard-to-wean ICU patients
This study tests a special breathing therapy for intensive care patients who are having trouble coming off the ventilator. If you have weak muscles or a weak cough, the therapy aims to strengthen your breathing so you can recover faster.
Lyon, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06680895Recruiting
FeNO study in ICU patients with breathing support
This study measures a lung inflammation marker called FeNO in ICU patients on a breathing machine. It may help doctors understand lung health and guide treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07709975Recruiting
Pain relief and early movement for older ICU patients
This study tests different ways to manage pain and help older patients get moving again sooner after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and in the ICU, this trial may help you recover more comfortably and quickly.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 65 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+ - NCT06961227Recruiting
Comparing two breathing machine settings in the ICU
This trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
SanliurfaAges 18 years+ - NCT06832306Recruiting
Diaphragm pacing for breathing support in ICU
This trial tests a device that helps stimulate the diaphragm to improve breathing in patients who need a ventilator. It's for people with new breathing problems who have been in the ICU on a ventilator for less than 4 days.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06969443Recruiting
Studying rehab practices in the intensive care unit
This study watches how patients in the intensive care unit are helped to move and strengthen their muscles (rehabilitation) during their stay. It does not give any new treatment or medicine, but simply documents what usual care looks like for people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05188092Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide fluid removal in ICU patients
This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04876742Recruiting
Wheat beer to help prevent confusion in ICU patients
This study tests whether drinking wheat beer can lower the risk of delirium, a sudden confusion that can happen in intensive care. If you’re at higher risk and can take the study drink safely, this could help you avoid or reduce delirium.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07120672Recruiting
Breathing tube removal success study
This study tests if a new method (PPI) can better predict when a patient is ready to have their breathing tube removed after a trial of spontaneous breathing.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07610356Recruiting
Understanding gut blood-flow problems in ICU patients
This study helps doctors better predict and understand a serious condition where the bowel doesn't get enough blood flow while patients are in the ICU. By identifying warning signs early, the research aims to improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Tallinn, TallinnAges 18 years+ - NCT06085690Recruiting
Reducing bloodstream infections from ICU catheters
This study tests a new method to prevent infections from central lines (special IVs placed in large veins) in intensive care units. If you have a central line in place for more than 24 hours, this research may help improve your safety by finding better ways to avoid catheter-related bloodstream infections.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05807178Recruiting
Light treatment to stabilize sleep-wake rhythm in ICU delirium
This trial tests whether controlled bright light in the ICU can improve confusion and the sleep-wake rhythm in adults who develop delirium. If it works, it may help patients become more clear-minded sooner while they recover in intensive care.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07491354Recruiting
Predicting chronic pain after ICU trauma
This study looks at how biological, psychological, and social factors might help predict long-term pain after a traumatic injury that required ICU care. If you are an adult with a serious injury and at least one broken bone, you may be eligible.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07358039Recruiting
Recruitment maneuver after suctioning in ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing whether a breathing maneuver after suctioning helps restore lung volume in intensive care patients who are on a ventilator. It may help improve breathing and recovery.
Toulon, VARAges 18 years+ - NCT07339397Recruiting
Joint stiffness in ICU patients on breathing machines
This trial studies how common joint stiffness becomes in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine and cannot move for at least 7 days. It may help doctors better prevent and treat this problem.
