Recruiting studies
- NCT07642076RecruitingPhase 4
L-carnitine supplement for critically ill liver disease patients

MenoufiaAges 18 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+ - NCT07457554Recruiting
Can respiratory quotient help ICU patients on ventilators?
This study looks at whether using a simple measurement called the respiratory quotient (a sign of how your body is using fuel) can help doctors make better decisions for patients on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may lead to safer, more personalized care.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–85 - NCT06901050Recruiting
A study of FAST HUGS care for ICU patients with low oxygen
This trial tests a special care bundle called 'FAST HUGS' to see if it helps people in the ICU with low oxygen levels get better sooner. It focuses on patients in the Chest Intensive Care Unit who have trouble getting enough oxygen.
ErzurumAges 18–100 - 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+ - NCT07239687Recruiting
Comparing two propofol sedation methods for ICU patients on ventilators
This study compares two computer-controlled methods for delivering propofol sedation to ICU patients on a breathing machine. It aims to determine which method provides safer and more effective sedation for critically ill patients.
AnkaraAges 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+ - 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 - NCT07188350Recruiting
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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07732114Recruiting
Liver vein vs. heart echo to check right heart function on a ventilator
This study compares a liver vein ultrasound method with a standard heart ultrasound for checking how well the right side of the heart is pumping in patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator). If you are on a ventilator and can get a clear ultrasound of your heart and liver veins, you may be able to join.
Alexandria, Shebin El-KomAges 18 years+ - NCT02456974Recruiting
Testing how antibiotics are dosed in children’s intensive care
This study looks at whether giving common antibiotics in certain dose schedules (either through a drip over time or continuously) is done in a way that fits pediatric intensive care needs. It may help improve antibiotic treatment for children who are very sick and need antibiotics.
GhentAges 1 day–16 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+ - NCT07740304Recruiting
Blood flow test to predict survival in sepsis patients
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
Edirne, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT07737353Recruiting
Education for families of ICU patients with tracheostomy
This study tests whether a structured education program for family members of ICU patients who need a tracheostomy helps them feel more prepared and less stressed. You would be asked to attend training sessions and fill out some questionnaires.
Giresun, GiresunAges 18 years+ - NCT07709975Recruiting
Pain relief and early movement for older ICU patients
This study tests different ways to manage pain and help older patients get moving again sooner after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and in the ICU, this trial may help you recover more comfortably and quickly.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 65 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04176094Recruiting
Trial of ICU overnight resident scheduling plans

- Are there clinical trials for intensive care unit patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 261 recruiting intensive care unit 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 unit 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 unit 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.
