Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT04990908Recruiting
Screening children in ICU for immune problems after severe infection
This study checks children in pediatric intensive care for possible “immune system problems” after a severe infection. The goal is to find primary immunodeficiencies early, which may change follow-up and treatment for the child’s immune health.
MontpellierAges 3 months–16 years - NCT05807997Recruiting
Looking at outcomes of patients not admitted to ICU
This retrospective study reviews people who were evaluated by the general ICU team but were not admitted to the ICU between 2018 and 2023. It looks at their medical characteristics and outcomes to help understand who may or may not need ICU care.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - 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 - 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+ - NCT05001009Enrolling by invitation
Goals of care conversation support for certain serious illnesses
This study helps primary care clinicians and their patients have structured “goals of care” conversations (about what matters most and care preferences). It may help you get clearer, earlier planning—especially if you have a serious illness and higher risk of hospitalization or death.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06297707Recruiting
Aquatic strength training for chronic heart failure
This trial tests whether high-intensity resistance training in water can improve strength and function in people with chronic heart failure. It's designed for those who are stable on medication and not yet in a rehab program.
Cairo, DokkiAges 45–60 - 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 - NCT06154382Recruiting
Thyroid hormone treatment for low T4 in ICU patients
This study looks at patients in the intensive care unit who had very low T4 (a thyroid hormone) levels. It checks whether giving them Eltroxin (a thyroid medication) helped their recovery.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT07032987Recruiting
Improving sedation with a new care plan for ICU patients
This trial tests a new sedation protocol for adults in intensive care who need strong pain relief or sedation medicines. It aims to make sedation safer and more comfortable, and includes people on ECMO (a heart-lung machine) or a ventilator (breathing machine) for severe breathing problems.
London, LondonAges 18–100 - NCT07284888Recruiting
Prone positioning for ARDS patients on ventilators
This study looks at how placing patients on their stomach (prone positioning) affects those with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to learn more about the best practices for this treatment in the ICU.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 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+ - NCT05727111Recruiting
Home therapy program for people with long-term stroke
This trial tests a structured therapy program done at home to help with movement after chronic stroke. It may help if you have lasting arm/hand problems and can follow simple instructions with a caregiver’s daily support.
BrusselsAges 18–100 - NCT07052123Recruiting
Blood pressure monitoring in ICU with DARE device
This trial tests a new non-invasive device (DARE) to measure blood pressure and core body temperature in patients who are already receiving standard monitoring with an arterial line and a urinary catheter in the ICU.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07744321Recruiting
Bacteria in stool during long ICU stays
This study looks at how certain bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae) change over time in the stool of ICU patients staying at least 28 days. It aims to understand why these infections occur and how they evolve, which could help improve future care.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT05913531Recruiting
Use of past delirium data from adult patients
This trial looks back at information already collected from past patients, focusing on delirium (confusion that can happen during serious illness or after anesthesia). It doesn’t test a new treatment—its goal is to learn patterns from existing records to improve future care.
BerlinAges 18–100 - 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+ - NCT06819943Recruiting
Bed positioning to reduce pressure on the body
This study tests a special bed positioning technique (lateralization therapy) to see if it lowers pressure on the body and helps prevent bedsores in people on breathing machines. If you are on a ventilator and not yet ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help improve your comfort and skin health.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07485244Recruiting
EEG brain monitoring in ICU patients at risk for delirium
This study uses a simple headband (EEG) to monitor brain activity in ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. The goal is to see if the EEG can help detect delirium earlier, so doctors can provide better care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06411951Enrolling by invitation
Integrated care for people with frequent psychiatric hospital stays
This study tests a new team-based care program for people who have been in the hospital for psychiatric treatment many times. The goal is to see if this program helps reduce repeat hospital stays.
Oberwil, Canton of ZugAges 18 years+ - NCT07069010Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 408 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.
