DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT03984656RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve-block pain control during lung fluid drainage in ICU

AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06577870Recruiting
Soothing nature videos for hospital ICU patients
This study tests whether watching calming, immersive nature scenes (called sensory projections) can help patients feel more relaxed while in the hospital's intensive care unit. If you qualify, you'll be able to use these projections during your stay.
MassyAges 18 years+ - NCT07035951Recruiting

This study looks at how family members can be involved in making treatment decisions for older patients (75+) in the ICU. It aims to improve care for very old patients who are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 3 days.
LondonAges 75 years+ - NCT06969443Recruiting
Studying rehab practices in the intensive care unit
This study watches how patients in the intensive care unit are helped to move and strengthen their muscles (rehabilitation) during their stay. It does not give any new treatment or medicine, but simply documents what usual care looks like for people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07761364Recruiting
Contact with family in the intensive care unit
This study looks at how a visit from your main family caregiver affects your body while you are in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see if having that personal contact can help you feel better and recover.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–59 - NCT06948565Recruiting
Cirrhosis patients in the ICU: a 10-year review
This study looks back at medical records of people with cirrhosis who were treated in an intensive care unit (ICU) over the last 10 years. Researchers want to understand what factors affect their recovery and outcomes.
BesançonAges Any age - NCT06081205Recruiting
Heart disease patients in intensive care study
This trial observes patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit with acute heart or blood vessel problems. It aims to learn more about their conditions and treatments.
Ioannina, EpirusAges Any age - NCT07098611Recruiting
New tool to predict readiness for breathing tube removal
This study tests a new scoring tool to help doctors decide when a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed safely. It is for patients who are currently in the process of being weaned off the ventilator.
Punta ArenasAges 18–89 - NCT07868549Enrolling by invitation
Comparing three mouth care methods for intensive care patients
This study tests three different mouth care routines to see which one reduces bacteria in the mouth most effectively. It aims to find a simple way to prevent infections in patients who are very ill in the hospital intensive care unit.
ZagrebAges Any age - NCT07801092Recruiting
Sleep-promotion protocol to prevent delirium in intensive care patients
This trial tests a special sleep-promoting protocol (using eye masks, earplugs, and other measures) to help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care patients. If you or a loved one are in the ICU, this treatment might help reduce confusion and improve recovery.
Çanakkale, ÇanakkaleAges 18 years+ - NCT07704710Enrolling by invitation
Changing Pulse Oximeter Probe Placement to Prevent Skin Injury in the ICU
This study looks at whether changing the position of the pulse oximeter clip on the finger every so often can help prevent skin injuries (like pressure sores) in ICU patients. It is for adults in intensive care who are deeply unconscious and will be there for several days.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07558642Recruiting
Nerve Block to Reduce Confusion in Older ICU Patients
This study tests whether a nerve-blocking injection (stellate ganglion block) can reduce confusion and help restore normal sleep-wake cycles in older adults staying in the intensive care unit. Researchers hope this treatment may help patients recover faster and feel more alert.
Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 65–99 - NCT07323472Recruiting
Body positioning and breathing in critically ill patients on ventilators
This study tests whether turning patients on their side affects their breathing and lung health. It aims to improve care for people who need a breathing machine.
Recife, PernamuAges 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+ - NCT06845865Recruiting
Gut barrier test in ICU patients with organ failure
This study looks at how the gut barrier works in people with severe infections that cause organ failure. It measures intestinal permeability using a simple test, to see if a 'leaky gut' contributes to how sick patients get.
VincennesAges 18 years+ - NCT06805357Recruiting
Lung opening during chest therapy on a breathing machine
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
CréteilAges 18–100 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07188350Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation for patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether low-level electrical pulses to the leg muscles can help prevent weakness in patients who need a breathing tube (ventilator) for more than 48 hours. It aims to see if this treatment helps patients recover faster.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 389 recruiting intensive care 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 intensive care 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 intensive care 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.
