Cold vs warm tube feeding and stomach emptying in ICU

AI predicts muscle loss risk in brain injury ICU patients
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict which brain injury patients in the intensive care unit are at risk for muscle loss (sarcopenia). It aims to help doctors identify and prevent this complication early.
TrabzonAges 18–65 - NCT04722939Recruiting
Testing brain function outcomes after ICU kidney failure treatment
This trial studies how treating severe kidney injury in the ICU may affect patients’ brain and thinking function over time. It compares measurements of brain activity and function after starting kidney replacement therapy.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04723654Recruiting
Wearable sensors to monitor vital signs in kids
This trial tests wearable smart sensors that continuously track vital signs in children in the hospital (especially the ICU). It may help doctors watch changes sooner and learn how well the sensors work on children during care.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 18 years - NCT05525702Recruiting
VR sessions to lower confusion in ICU patients
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) activities can reduce delirium—new, sudden confusion—in people staying in the ICU. It may help patients feel clearer and more oriented during a longer ICU stay.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT05526105Recruiting
Ultrasound for stomach fluid in ICU patients
This trial tests using an ultrasound scan to estimate stomach fluid and volume in ICU patients. It may help clinicians better assess aspiration risk and prepare for safe anesthesia or procedures.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18–100 - NCT05602662Recruiting
Music to help sedate adults on a breathing machine
This trial looks at whether listening to music can help make “pharmacological sedation” (medicine to help you relax/sleep) easier or more comfortable for adults in the ICU who are on a ventilator (breathing machine). It may help improve comfort during critical care treatment.
Karlstad, Värmland CountyAges 18–100 - NCT05843786RecruitingPhase 3
Interferon gamma for ventilator pneumonia in ICU
This trial tests whether a medicine called interferon gamma can improve outcomes in adults with a first episode of pneumonia that develops after being on a ventilator in the ICU. It is designed for specific ICU timing, infection severity, and immune marker levels, and it compares treatment on top of standard care.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT06033378Recruiting
Blood pressure treatment for ICU patients with brain bleed
This trial tests a blood pressure management strategy for patients in the ICU after a bleeding stroke caused by a brain aneurysm. It aims to see if carefully controlling blood pressure can help prevent a dangerous tightening of blood vessels in the brain.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT06467708Recruiting
Ear Stimulation for ICU Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury
This study tests a very small electrical device placed on the ear to see if it can help people with traumatic brain injury recover in the intensive care unit (ICU). The device sends gentle pulses to a nerve that may calm inflammation and improve brain function.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06501118Recruiting
Oxygen levels in ICU patients on breathing machines
This study tests whether giving a little more oxygen to ICU patients on breathing machines leads to better recovery. It compares usual oxygen levels to a more liberal target to see which is safer and more effective.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06514781Recruiting
Comparing sedation methods for severe pneumonia in the ICU
This study looks at different ways to sedate patients on a breathing machine in the ICU who have severe pneumonia. The goal is to find which approach works best for recovery and comfort.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06702813Recruiting
High-frequency vibration breathing treatment for ICU patients
This trial tests a device called MetaNeb that delivers high-frequency vibrations to help clear mucus and open collapsed air sacs in the lungs. It is designed for patients in the ICU who are awake, alert, and have trouble breathing or need extra oxygen.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1.5 years–80 years - NCT06769308Recruiting
Brain wave guided sedation in ICU patients
This study tests a new way to give pain and sedation medicines in the ICU. It uses a special brain wave monitor (EEG) to help doctors adjust your medicines more precisely, aiming to keep you comfortable and safe.
Ferrara, ItalyAges 18–90 - NCT06785571RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pain relief study for ICU patients on a ventilator
This study tests a painkiller called nalbuphine for ICU patients on a breathing machine. It aims to see if it controls pain as well as or better than usual care, with fewer side effects.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06915974Recruiting
Comparing Blood Tests for Sepsis in Burn ICU Patients
This study is comparing two blood tests (Interleukin 6 and Procalcitonin) to find which is better at detecting sepsis (a serious infection) and predicting the risk of death in burn patients in the ICU. If you have moderate burns and are otherwise healthy, this trial could help improve care for burn victims.
CairoAges 25–60 - NCT06960642Recruiting
Dosage of Early Rehab for ICU Patients
This trial tests different amounts of early physical therapy for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to find out how much rehabilitation is best for recovery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06966869Recruiting
Fentanyl patch absorption in ICU patients
This study looks at how well fentanyl patches work in ICU patients who are not stable. It aims to understand if the patch is absorbed properly in these patients.
Tel Aviv, IsraelAges 18–70 - NCT07007156Recruiting
Does a positive NECPAL score mean higher risk in the ICU?
This study looks at whether a specific tool, called NECPAL, can help predict if older adults in the ICU are more likely to have a higher risk of dying. NECPAL is a way to identify people who might benefit from extra support or palliative care.
Sant Pere de Ribes, BarcelonaAges 75 years+ - NCT07052604Recruiting
Antibiotic treatment for a rare pneumonia in ICU patients
This study looks at how well antibiotics work for pneumonia caused by a specific bacterium (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) in patients who are on breathing machines in the intensive care unit (ICU). It will help doctors choose the best treatment.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07126106Recruiting
Testing a computer program to find sepsis earlier in the ICU
This study tests a new computer program that helps doctors find serious infections (sepsis and bacteremia) earlier in ICU patients. If you join, the program will analyze your health data to see if it can better predict these infections, which could help you get faster treatment.
Seyrantepe, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07183605Recruiting
How different ways of drawing blood from a central line compare for heparin activity
This trial checks whether blood samples taken from a central line using either a syringe flush or a vacuum tube give the same heparin activity results as blood from a vein in the arm. It is designed for patients in the ICU who are on a steady heparin drip.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 135 recruiting icu patients 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 patients 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 patients 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.
