Recruiting studies
- NCT07243041Recruiting

Jeddah, Mecca RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07395297Recruiting
Airway clearance therapy for ICU lung infections
This trial tests a new airway clearance device in ICU patients with pneumonia. It may help clear mucus from your lungs and improve breathing without needing a breathing tube.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT02426255Recruiting
Study of serious injuries and complications after trauma
This study follows people with severe injuries (including head injuries and bleeding) to better understand serious complications that can happen after trauma. Your experience may help doctors predict and prevent these complications in the future.
AngersAges 15 years+ - NCT07434908Recruiting
Study of HBP and lung fluid in ICU patients
This trial looks at a protein called HBP in the blood and how it relates to fluid in the lungs. You can join if you are over 18 and already have a special heart monitor called PiCCO in place.
ÖstersundAges 18 years+ - NCT07460141Recruiting
Blood tests to predict death risk after surgery in the ICU
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
TrabzonAges 18 years+ - NCT07485244Recruiting
EEG brain monitoring in ICU patients at risk for delirium
This study uses a simple headband (EEG) to monitor brain activity in ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. The goal is to see if the EEG can help detect delirium earlier, so doctors can provide better care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07536750Recruiting
Comparing Two Sedation Drugs for ICU Patients on Breathing Support
This study compares two medications (ciprofol and propofol) used to keep ICU patients calm and comfortable while they receive non-invasive breathing support, such as oxygen masks or tubes that help them breathe without a breathing tube in their windpipe. Researchers want to see which drug works better and is safer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07537621Recruiting
How the heart's right chamber responds to fluids in ICU
This study watches how the right side of your heart responds when doctors give you extra fluids to improve blood flow during a critical illness. Understanding this response may help doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment in the ICU.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT07571317Recruiting
Predicting breathing tube removal success in ICU patients
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07582926Recruiting
Cortisol Levels and Outcomes in Critically Ill Infection Patients
This study examines how the body's stress hormone (cortisol) relates to survival in patients with severe blood infections in the ICU. Understanding this relationship may help doctors better predict and manage outcomes in critically ill patients.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06791889Recruiting
Tracking bacteria in blood of ICU sepsis patients
This study uses a highly sensitive blood test (DdPCR) to quickly find and monitor harmful bacteria in ICU patients with sepsis, aiming to improve early detection and treatment.
WuhanAges 18 years+ - NCT07694687Recruiting
Studying a tool to spot confusion in intensive care patients
This study tests a new way to check for delirium (sudden confusion) in patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It also looks at how family members can help spot these changes, so the care team can help sooner.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07751237Recruiting
Ultrasound of the diaphragm during breathing machine weaning
This study uses ultrasound to look at how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) is working while you are on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this can help doctors predict when you can safely breathe on your own and leave the ventilator sooner.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT07744321Recruiting
Bacteria in stool during long ICU stays
This study looks at how certain bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae) change over time in the stool of ICU patients staying at least 28 days. It aims to understand why these infections occur and how they evolve, which could help improve future care.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06666946Recruiting
Electroacupuncture for sepsis patients in the ICU
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation through thin needles placed in the lower legs (electroacupuncture) can help patients fight sepsis in the ICU. It aims to see if this treatment reduces organ damage and speeds recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06838598Recruiting
Studying biofilm on arterial catheters in the ICU
This study looks at the buildup of bacteria on arterial catheters (thin tubes placed in an artery) used in intensive care. By understanding these biofilms, doctors may find better ways to prevent infections.
Dijon, Bourgogne-Franche-ComtéAges 18 years+ - NCT07404813Enrolling by invitation
Do family voices affect brain chemistry and pain in ICU patients?
This study tests whether hearing a family member's voice can change natural brain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) and reduce pain for people in the intensive care unit who are in a coma but can still react. It may help improve comfort during recovery.
Malatya, MalatyaAges 18–65 - NCT07303335Enrolling by invitation
Sarcopenia in ICU patients on long-term ventilation
This study checks for muscle loss (sarcopenia) in ICU patients who need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation). It aims to track how muscle health changes during hospital stay.
Terrassa, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07483710Recruiting
CT scan muscle test in ICU for septic shock
This study looks at whether a CT scan of the lower back muscle, taken when you first arrive in the intensive care unit for septic shock, can help predict recovery three months later. It may help doctors better understand how muscle health affects survival.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06920173RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose vasopressors for shock in the ICU
This study tests whether giving low-dose blood pressure medicines through a standard IV (instead of a larger central line) is safe and effective for patients with shock in the intensive care unit.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07303855Recruiting
Better fluid management after major abdominal surgery
This study compares two ways of giving fluids to people after major abdominal surgery in the ICU. It will see if using a measure of how much blood the heart pumps (cardiac index) is better than the usual method based on vein pressure.
Jakarta Pusat, DKI JakartaAges 18–65 - NCT06770751Recruiting
Family involvement in intensive care
This study looks at how having a family member actively involved in care affects patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). You may be able to join if you are over 18 and have a family member who can help with your care.

- 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.
