This trial tests if giving tube feeding at certain times of day, instead of continuously, helps people on breathing machines recover from organ failure faster. It is for patients who need a breathing tube and are receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Rouen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06411561Recruiting
Boosting memory after ICU stay for older adults
This study tests a combination of activities (like cognitive training and exercise) to help older adults recover thinking and memory after a serious illness in the ICU. It may help you regain sharpness and independence after leaving the intensive care unit.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 60 years+ - NCT07694206Recruiting
Digital and blood tests for delirium in the ICU
This trial studies whether digital tools and blood tests can help detect delirium (sudden confusion) in ICU patients. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could lead to better monitoring and care.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT06532994Recruiting
Prediction tool for recovery after critical illness
This study looks at how well people recover after critical illness. It tests a prediction tool to help guide rehabilitation for patients who needed a breathing machine and started rehab in the ICU.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–90 - NCT06544148Recruiting
Measuring lung artery pressure with a chest belt in ICU patients
This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure in your lung artery using a special belt that sends small electrical signals through your chest. It may help doctors monitor your heart and lungs without extra invasive procedures.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06576895Recruiting
Nutrition study in critically ill adults
This study looks at how nutrition is given to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand current practices and may help improve care for future patients.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06607055Recruiting
Immune markers in ICU patients with pneumonia
This study looks at how the immune system reacts in ICU patients on a ventilator who have pneumonia. By measuring immune markers, the researchers hope to better understand and predict complications like ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06685367Recruiting
AI software for predicting acute kidney injury in ICU
This trial tests software that uses artificial intelligence to predict if a patient in the ICU might develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage). It aims to see if the software is cost-effective and could help doctors catch problems earlier.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT06100978Recruiting
Patient experiences after severe seizures
This study interviews people who had a severe, prolonged seizure (status epilepticus) and were treated in intensive care. It asks how they feel and what they experienced 3 months to 5 years later.
AngoulêmeAges 18 years+ - NCT06766461RecruitingPhase 4
Optimizing antibiotic dosing in ICU patients with septic shock
This trial checks if giving higher doses of beta-lactam antibiotics (a type of strong antibiotic) right from the start helps people in the ICU with septic shock. It aims to find the best dose to fight the infection quickly.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06809868Recruiting
Study of genetic elements in sepsis and aging
This trial looks at how certain genetic elements may affect the immune system in older adults with sepsis. It aims to understand why older patients may respond differently to severe infections.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06819592RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing early lung infections after severe brain injury
This study tests whether giving an antibiotic (ceftriaxone) early after a severe brain injury can prevent lung infections caused by the breathing machine (ventilator). It is for adults in the ICU who recently started on a ventilator due to a brain emergency.
Kingswood, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06881927RecruitingPhase 4
Reducing anti-rejection meds in ICU for kidney transplant patients
This study tests whether quickly reducing your anti-rejection medicines during a life-threatening ICU stay can help your kidneys recover and improve your overall outcome. It is for kidney transplant recipients with septic shock or severe breathing failure.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06923462Recruiting
VoiceLove app for ICU patients on a ventilator
This study tests a special app called VoiceLove that helps patients in the ICU who are on a breathing machine communicate with their family and care team. The goal is to reduce confusion and improve connection and satisfaction for everyone involved.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06958588RecruitingPhase 4
PEMF therapy vs. leg compression for blood clot prevention in ICU
This trial is testing two different ways to prevent dangerous blood clots in ICU patients who cannot take blood-thinning medication. It compares a pulsed electromagnetic field device (PEMF) to a standard leg compression device. Both treatments are non-invasive and used without medication.
Belo Horizonte, BHAges Any age - NCT07013175Recruiting
Wise Choices in the Intensive Care Unit
This study looks at how decisions are made in the ICU. It may help improve care for adult patients in Swedish intensive care units.

London, LondonAges 18–100 - NCT07074028Recruiting
Tracking muscle changes in ICU patients with sepsis

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care (icu)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 205 recruiting intensive care (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 intensive care (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 intensive care (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.
