This study looks at how attending a special follow-up clinic for people who have been in intensive care (called PICS clinic) helps with recovery. If you were invited to this clinic between 2021 and 2025, you may be eligible.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06595290Recruiting
Faster medication increase for heart failure with weak pumping
This trial tests a new, faster way to increase heart failure medications during a hospital stay, aiming to get patients on the right doses sooner. It is for people with weak heart pumping (ejection fraction 40% or less) who are currently in the hospital for heart failure and are on low doses of standard medications.
Long Xuyen, An GiangAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07694687Recruiting
Studying a tool to spot confusion in intensive care patients
This study tests a new way to check for delirium (sudden confusion) in patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It also looks at how family members can help spot these changes, so the care team can help sooner.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07460141Recruiting
Blood tests to predict death risk after surgery in the ICU
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
TrabzonAges 18 years+ - NCT06716840Recruiting
Remimazolam for sedation after heart surgery
This trial tests a medication called Remimazolam Besylate to sedate patients who need a breathing tube after heart surgery. The goal is to help patients relax while they recover in the intensive care unit.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05867472RecruitingPhase 3
Sedation plan for critically ill children on breathing machines
This Phase 3 trial tests a sedation approach using inhaled (“volatile”) anesthesia gases for children who need a ventilator. It aims to improve comfort and brain-related outcomes while they stay on the breathing machine for at least a day.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 1 month–18 years - NCT04180397RecruitingPhase 4
Removing extra fluid in critically ill ICU patients with overload
This trial studies a medicine strategy to remove extra fluid from the body in ICU patients who have fluid overload. It aims to see whether controlled fluid removal is safer and better for recovery than usual care.
SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT06202820Recruiting
Heart health monitoring for men on hormone therapy
This study checks how men starting hormone therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer are doing with their heart health. It offers follow-up visits at the cancer center to track blood pressure and lab results, with the goal of catching any heart-related issues early.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07208110Recruiting
Trauma deaths in the ICU
This study looks at patterns of death in trauma patients who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors understand how to improve care for seriously injured people.
Villavicencio, Meta DepartmentAges 15–100 - NCT06605144RecruitingPhase 3
Blood pressure management in critically ill patients
This study tests how best to manage blood pressure in critically ill patients using medicines called vasopressors. It aims to find the safest and most effective blood pressure target for people in the ICU.
Moncton, New BrunswickAges 18 years+ - NCT07611721Recruiting
Testing a glucose monitor in critically ill surgery patients
This study tests whether a wearable glucose monitor (Dexcom G7) works well in patients in intensive care after major abdominal surgery or organ transplant who need insulin therapy. The monitor measures blood sugar continuously to help doctors manage insulin doses more safely.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07126574Enrolling by invitation
Blood tests for diagnosing sepsis in adult burn patients
This study is testing how well certain blood tests can detect sepsis (a severe infection in the blood) in adults with burns. If you are in the burn ICU with a significant burn and your doctors suspect sepsis, your blood test results may help guide treatment.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT07052604Recruiting
Antibiotic treatment for a rare pneumonia in ICU patients
This study looks at how well antibiotics work for pneumonia caused by a specific bacterium (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) in patients who are on breathing machines in the intensive care unit (ICU). It will help doctors choose the best treatment.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05928767Recruiting
Using frailty scores to predict death in ICU sepsis
This trial checks whether a “frailty” rating (how physically/mentally vulnerable someone is) can predict the risk of death in ICU patients with sepsis shock. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients earlier and tailor care.
BéthuneAges 18–65 - NCT07121517Recruiting
Predicting airway problems in children with tracheostomies
This study looks at children with tracheostomies to see if symptoms you or your doctor notice can predict airway problems found during a routine scope. Participation involves no extra procedures—just answering questions and giving permission to use information from that routine scope.
SolnaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06893458Recruiting
Feeding and quality of life in children with a tracheostomy
This study looks at how feeding problems and quality of life affect children who have a tracheostomy (a tube in the windpipe). It aims to understand what difficulties children and families face, so care can be improved.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges Up to 18 years - NCT07632131Recruiting
Storytelling therapy to prevent PTSD after heart surgery
This study tests whether a special therapy called narrative exposure—where you talk through your surgery experience with a trained counselor—can help prevent PTSD (post-traumatic stress) in people recovering from heart surgery in the ICU. The goal is to help you process what happened so you feel less distressed afterward.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07284888Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 387 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.
