After–ICU follow-up program to improve life quality
This study tests a structured follow-up consultation after a stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) to see whether it improves quality of life. You may be asked to join regular interdisciplinary visits after your ICU stay.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06628440Recruiting
Mouth check tool for ICU patients with breathing tubes
This study develops a new tool to check the health of the mouth in patients who have a breathing tube in their throat while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to help nurses better assess and care for the mouth.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05741918Recruiting
Testing a monitor to measure heart output in sick children
This study checks whether a bedside “metabolic monitor” can accurately measure how well the heart is pumping (heart output) in children in the intensive care unit. It may help clinicians better understand and manage circulation using measurement methods during critical care.
MontpellierAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT04094428Recruiting
Study of ICU outcomes, deaths, and care costs
This study looks at what happens to people in intensive care, including deaths and hospital resource use. It may help hospitals plan better care and understand the costs of staying in the ICU.
UlmAges Any age - 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+ - NCT06595602Recruiting
Intelligent lung support in the ICU
This trial tests a smart breathing machine that adjusts support automatically for people on a ventilator. It may help make breathing more comfortable and reduce lung injury.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT06391424Recruiting
Oxygen use and breathing effort during ventilator weaning
If you are on a breathing machine in the ICU and ready to try breathing on your own, this study looks at how much oxygen your body uses during that test. It may help doctors better understand when you are ready to come off the ventilator.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06301841Recruiting
Antibiotic choice for COPD with pneumonia in ICU
This trial is testing a new way to choose antibiotics for people with COPD who get pneumonia and need intensive care. The goal is to find the best treatment using a personalized approach.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT04392401Recruiting
Study immune changes in adults during ICU stay for COVID-19
This study looks at how your immune system responds while you’re in the intensive care unit (ICU) for COVID-19. Researchers will collect samples early in the ICU stay to better understand immune changes during the illness.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT07109570Recruiting
Checking breathing effort in ICU patients on a ventilator
This trial measures how your breathing muscles work while we try taking you off the breathing machine. The results could help doctors predict when you're ready to breathe on your own.
LeidenAges 18 years+ - NCT07496255Recruiting
Virtual reality for memory help after ICU confusion
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help older adults recover their thinking and memory after a serious illness and confusion in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, spent time on a breathing machine, and had delirium in the ICU.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 50 years+ - NCT07093125Recruiting
Rehabilitation for ICU patients on a breathing machine
This trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
Genova, ItalyAges 16–100 - NCT06455696Recruiting
Moving critically ill patients within the hospital
This trial looks at how safely the ICU team moves critically ill patients to other parts of the hospital for tests or procedures. If you are an adult in the ICU and need to be moved by your ICU team, you may be able to join.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06961227Recruiting
Comparing two breathing machine settings in the ICU
This trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
SanliurfaAges 18 years+ - NCT07200817Recruiting
Blood markers to predict outcome in sepsis patients
This study looks at simple blood tests (like levels of certain white blood cells and a protein called procalcitonin) to see if they can predict how well people with sepsis will do in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand your infection better.
CairoAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT06700694Recruiting
Helping ICU patients move early with technology
This trial tests a technology-assisted program to help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) start moving earlier while on a breathing machine. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications from being in bed for too long.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07715682Recruiting
Gentle touch and calm for premature babies' blood tests
This study tests whether gentle human touch and fewer distractions can help reduce pain and improve comfort for premature babies during a standard heel-prick blood test.
AnkaraAges 7 months–9 months - NCT03014427Recruiting
Build a hospital database of people in intensive care
This trial collects information about adults receiving intensive care to build a “database” that helps doctors and researchers better understand ICU patients. It mainly involves registering your clinical and health details, even if your condition is complex or you are getting comfort-focused care.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT03753412Recruiting
Rehab program for adults after ICU recovery on ECMO
This trial looks at a recovery and rehabilitation approach for adults who were very sick and needed a machine called ECMO to support breathing and heart function. It may help people regain strength and function after a severe ICU illness.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT03984656RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve-block pain control during lung fluid drainage in ICU
This trial tests whether a specific pain-relief nerve block (given with numbing medicine) can make pleural drainage in the ICU more comfortable. It may help reduce pain during the procedure for people who are awake and breathing on their own.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04541862Recruiting
ICU patient information database for adults
This trial collects and studies health information from people who are critically ill and admitted to an intensive care unit. It may help doctors learn how to better care for ICU patients in the future.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 291 recruiting intensive care unit 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 unit 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 unit 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.
