Recruiting studies
- NCT07316894Recruiting
Consensus on IWS diagnosis for ICU doctors

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+ - NCT07307066Recruiting
Ventilation feedback study for lung protection in ARDS
This study tests a computer system that gives real-time breathing machine advice to help protect the lungs of patients with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors adjust the ventilator settings to cause less damage.
Qujing, YunnanAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT07304050Recruiting
Predicting hospital needs for children
This study observes children in general hospital or emergency areas to predict who might need intensive care or other unexpected events. It does not test any new treatment or device, only watches and collects data.

Biofeedback and relaxation for ICU patients with blood cancers
This trial tests whether guided biofeedback and relaxation techniques can help people with blood cancers while they are in the ICU. It may improve comfort and stress during critical illness, compared with standard care.
MetzAges 18–75 - NCT06683781Recruiting
Breathing machine settings and weaning success study
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
Buenos AiresAges 18–100 - 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+ - NCT07291908Recruiting
Inflammation and mirna-126 in trauma patients
This study looks at a molecule called miRNA-126 in trauma patients to understand how it relates to inflammation severity. It aims to see if miRNA-126 can help predict how trauma affects the body.
Antalya, AğrıAges 18 years+ - NCT07262320Recruiting
Kidney treatment in Latin American ICUs
This study looks at how dialysis (renal replacement therapy) is used for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) with severe acute kidney injury in Latin America. Your participation can help improve care for people with kidney problems.
CochabambaAges 18 years+ - NCT07269132Enrolling by invitation
Multimedia program to help ICU nurses with chemo care
This trial is testing a new computer program designed to teach intensive care unit (ICU) nurses about chemotherapy and improve their confidence in giving chemo to patients. It's not a treatment trial for patients, but a study to help nurses learn better.
TainanAges 18 years+ - NCT07256821Recruiting
Finding the best breathing muscle training dose in the ICU
This trial tests different amounts of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for patients who have a tracheostomy tube and are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the dose that helps most with recovery.
MarlowAges 18 years+ - NCT07243041Recruiting
Code status talks with Muslim ICU families
This study looks at how doctors talk to families about resuscitation wishes in a Muslim ICU setting. It may help improve communication between doctors and families during difficult times.
Jeddah, Mecca RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07237347Recruiting
Ultrasound training for intensive care doctors in Switzerland
This study looks at how doctors in intensive care units (ICUs) use ultrasound and manage sound volumes. It aims to improve training and patient care in Swiss hospitals.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07239687Recruiting
Comparing two propofol sedation methods for ICU patients on ventilators
This study compares two computer-controlled methods for delivering propofol sedation to ICU patients on a breathing machine. It aims to determine which method provides safer and more effective sedation for critically ill patients.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07232667Recruiting
Digital wellness study for active aging in Taiwan
This study uses digital devices (like an activity tracker and a sensor pad) to help older adults stay active and healthy. It is testing whether these tools can support aging well in Taiwan.
London, AlabamaAges 60 years+ - 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 - NCT07218484Recruiting
VoiceLove therapy for confusion after ICU surgery
This trial tests if a digital therapy called VoiceLove can help prevent or treat delirium (sudden confusion) in patients recovering from major surgery in the ICU. It also involves family members and care teams in the therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03642002Recruiting
Music therapy for adults on breathing machines in the ICU
This trial tests whether music therapy can improve comfort and recovery for adults who need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) in the ICU for at least 48 hours. It may help with stress, mood, and other ICU-related symptoms while you are in critical care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06920173RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose vasopressors for shock in the ICU

- 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.
