Recruiting studies
- NCT06616012Enrolling by invitation

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.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT05849597RecruitingPhase 3
Dexmedetomidine to prevent delirium after open-heart surgery
This trial tests whether a sedating medicine called dexmedetomidine can reduce the risk of “delirium” (sudden confusion) in the intensive care unit after open-heart surgery. If you’re having certain heart operations, it may help protect your thinking and alertness during recovery.
KamenitzAges 18 years+ - NCT06671795Recruiting
ICU Biobank: Learning about recovery after the ICU
This study collects samples and information from people who spent at least two days in the ICU. The goal is to understand long-term health problems that can happen after a serious illness, like muscle weakness or memory trouble.
ViennaAges 18–65 - NCT06765551Recruiting
AI muscle ultrasound for weakness after surgery
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze muscle ultrasound images, aiming to better identify muscle weakness that can develop after major surgery in the ICU. This could help doctors assess and treat patients more effectively.
Jena, ThuringiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07420946Recruiting
Expert opinions on a lung clearance device for ICU patients
This study gathers expert opinions from healthcare professionals about using a device called MI-E to help clear airways in critically ill patients. If you are a clinician with experience in this area, your input could help shape future guidelines.
NaplesAges Any age - NCT07137143Recruiting
Warming the ICU room after abdominal surgery
This study tests how warming the intensive care room after your abdominal surgery affects your recovery. It includes patients who are in the ICU after planned surgery and have no major health problems that affect body temperature.
Adana, YüreğirAges 18 years+ - NCT06840756RecruitingPhase 4
Does donor-patient sex matching improve blood transfusion outcomes?
This trial tests whether giving ICU patients blood from a donor of the same sex (male-to-male or female-to-female) leads to better recovery compared to mismatched transfusions. The goal is to see if matching donor and patient sex makes a difference in how well patients do.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06923813Recruiting
Measuring nutrient absorption in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study checks how well patients who are still in the hospital after an ICU stay absorb the nutrients from their tube feeding. A special test called bomb calorimetry will measure the calories in stool to see if the body is getting the energy it needs.
BrusselsAges 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+ - NCT07649876Recruiting
Virtual Reality to Reduce Anxiety in Critically Ill Patients
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset—which shows calming scenes like nature—can help reduce anxiety, agitation, and confusion in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if VR can help patients feel more comfortable during their recovery.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT07129174Recruiting
Lung bacteria changes in neurosurgery ICU patients with breathing tubes
This study looks at how tiny organisms in the lungs (the lung microbiome) change in neurosurgery patients who need a breathing tube in the ICU. It aims to see if these changes affect recovery or outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03934112Recruiting
Studies transfusion practices in intensive care
This trial looks at how blood transfusions were used in intensive care units and how that affected illness and survival. It may help improve transfusion decisions for future ICU patients.
BesançonAges Any age - NCT07639359RecruitingPhase 2
Ketamine for depression in intensive care patients
This study tests whether low-dose ketamine infusions can reduce depressive symptoms in patients staying in the intensive care unit for at least 6 days. Ketamine is a medication that may work differently than standard antidepressants and could provide faster relief.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT07626073Enrolling by invitation
Respiratory Pathogen Testing Methods in ICU Pneumonia
This study compares three different laboratory tests to identify the bacteria or viruses causing pneumonia in ICU patients. The goal is to see which test method helps doctors choose the right antibiotics faster and improves patient outcomes.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT07630662Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Function and Ventilator Weaning Success
This study looks at whether testing the strength and function of your breathing muscles (diaphragm and chest wall muscles) can predict whether you're ready to come off a ventilator (breathing machine). The goal is to help doctors make better decisions about when patients are ready to breathe on their own.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07710469Enrolling by invitation
Weighted blanket for comfort during vent weaning
This trial is testing whether a special weighted blanket can help you feel more calm and comfortable as doctors slowly reduce the support from your breathing machine. It's for people who are on a ventilator and ready to start the weaning process.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07672106Recruiting
Predicting breathing tube need after major surgery recovery
This study watches patients after major surgery to see which factors may increase the chance of needing a breathing tube again. It helps doctors better predict and prevent breathing problems in the intensive care unit.
Istanbul, ŞişliAges 18 years+ - NCT06174662Recruiting
Music for comfort during ICU movement
This study tests whether listening to music during movement exercises (like sitting up or walking) helps reduce discomfort in ICU patients. If you are calm enough and speak Dutch, this might be an option for you.
Wilrijk, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07163247Recruiting
Pet robot help for ICU patients on a ventilator
This trial tests if spending time with a robotic pet (like a dog or cat) can help patients in the intensive care unit who are having trouble breathing on their own. It is for people who have been on a breathing machine for more than three days and whose first attempt to breathe without it didn't work.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07501494Recruiting
Intensive care study: quality of care and outcomes

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 409 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.
