Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT03753412Recruiting
Rehab program for adults after ICU recovery on ECMO
This trial looks at a recovery and rehabilitation approach for adults who were very sick and needed a machine called ECMO to support breathing and heart function. It may help people regain strength and function after a severe ICU illness.
LondonAges 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 - NCT04737200Recruiting
Overnight feeding to improve sleep in ICU heart surgery patients
This trial studies whether planned overnight nutrition (through a feeding tube) can reduce sleep problems and daily body-clock disruption while you’re in the ICU after certain heart surgery. It may help you get more restful sleep and better regular “wake–sleep” timing during recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04658498Recruiting
Respiratory muscle training to help patients come off the ventilator
This trial studies whether exercises for breathing muscles can help people who are having a hard time coming off a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help you breathe with less ventilator support once your body is stable enough.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT04243356Enrolling by invitation
ICU nurse involvement in a post-ICU follow-up clinic
This study looks at whether having ICU nurses actively involved in a follow-up clinic after ICU discharge improves patients’ recovery and follow-up care. It focuses on patients who were cared for in the ICU and the registered nurses who cared for them.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 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.

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.
