Recruiting studies
- NCT05279547Recruiting
Bed-cycle exercise study to test muscle oxygen during ICU care
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05671614Recruiting
Prevent muscle stem cell failure after critical illness
This trial studies ways to improve recovery of skeletal muscle in people who have been very sick in the ICU. It focuses on preventing problems with the body’s muscle “repair cells” after critical illness.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT07489092Recruiting
Smartphone rehab app for ICU recovery
This study tests a smartphone app that guides you through exercises and recovery steps after leaving the ICU. You can join if you're currently in the hospital, can use your own phone, and are ready to start rehab.
SeoulAges 19 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+ - NCT03810768Recruiting
Metabolomics study of ICU-acquired weakness after surgery
This study looks at blood and body chemistry (called metabolomics) to understand and possibly predict muscle weakness that can happen in the ICU after surgery. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or monitor this problem.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05537298Recruiting
Help for muscle recovery after serious ICU illness
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06653998Recruiting
Early movement and rehab in ICU patients
This study tests whether starting physical therapy and movement early is safe and possible for patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve recovery for people who are stable enough to participate.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - NCT06697470Recruiting
Ultrasound and fluid monitoring in the ICU
This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.
Boussu, HainautAges 18 years+ - NCT06973746Recruiting
Sitting up in a chair in the ICU for patients on breathing machines
This study tests whether getting patients who are on a breathing machine to sit in a chair helps them recover better. It looks at whether this simple activity can improve how well they get back to normal function.
Orléans, Centre-Val de LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT06193980Recruiting
ICU recovery exercise test study
This trial looks at how well your heart and lungs work together after a long stay in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a simple exercise test to check your recovery after leaving the hospital.
