Recruiting studies
- NCT02738645Recruiting
Study of pneumonia patients in the ICU
This study follows people who are admitted to a respiratory intensive care unit (a special ICU for breathing problems) because they have pneumonia. It may help doctors better understand pneumonia in ICU patients and improve care in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05671614Recruiting

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+ - NCT06162247Recruiting
Registry study for heart patients in intensive care
This study tracks patients with sudden heart problems admitted to a special heart intensive care unit. It helps doctors learn more about these conditions to improve future care.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT07150637Enrolling by invitation
Predicting muscle weakness in children on a breathing machine
This study aims to predict muscle weakness that can happen to children on breathing machines in the ICU. It could help doctors start treatments earlier to prevent this weakness.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07094425Recruiting
Heart function study for ICU patients on breathing machines
This study looks at how the heart is affected in critically ill patients who need a breathing machine. It uses ultrasound and other simple tests to check for heart problems that can happen in the ICU, which may help doctors find and treat them earlier.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06652126Recruiting
Immune status and ICU infections study
This study looks at how having a weakened immune system affects the risk of getting infections with hard-to-treat bacteria in the ICU. Depending on your immune status, you may be placed in a group that helps doctors understand who is most at risk.
LilleAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07632716Recruiting
Blood marker to predict ICU patient outcomes
This study measures a specific blood protein (carbohydrate-deficient transferrin) when patients arrive at the hospital to see if it can predict how well they'll do in the intensive care unit. Understanding this marker might help doctors better plan care for critically ill patients.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06821386Recruiting
Genetic testing for seriously ill infants in intensive care
This study offers genetic testing for infants under 18 months who are in intensive care with certain health problems that may be genetic. The goal is to find a genetic cause quickly, which could guide care and treatment.
TaipeiAges Up to 1.5 years - NCT07779395Recruiting
Artificial intelligence for pressure injury prevention in intensive care
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in patients staying in an intensive care unit. The AI may help nurses provide better care to reduce these injuries.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 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+ - NCT07107685Recruiting
Joint replacement infections in critical care patients
This trial looks at infections in hip, knee, or shoulder replacements in people who needed critical care and later passed away. It aims to learn from their medical information to better prevent and treat similar infections.
Paris, FranceAges 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+ - NCT07070258Recruiting
Pediatric ICU Transport Registry
This study records information on critically ill children who are moved between hospitals by a special critical care team. It looks at how these transports happen to improve care for future kids.
DresdenAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT07200297Recruiting
Comparing three mouth care methods for ICU patients on non-invasive ventilation
This study compares three different mouth care methods for patients in the intensive care unit who are using a non-invasive ventilator (a mask or mouthpiece). The goal is to find the best way to keep the mouth clean and comortable during their stay.
Erzurum, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT07542613Recruiting
Educational Program for ICU Patients' Recovery
This study tests whether teaching ICU patients and their families about recovery can help patients regain strength and function after leaving the hospital. Researchers will follow patients for several months after discharge to see if the education makes a difference in their recovery.
Orihuela, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06104956Recruiting
Weaning from high-flow oxygen therapy in the ICU
This trial is testing a way to safely reduce high-flow oxygen therapy for patients in the ICU who have low oxygen levels. It might help find the right time to stop this treatment.
BloisAges 18–90 - NCT06150326Recruiting
Medical honey for wound treatment in intensive care
This trial tests whether medical honey can help heal wounds like bedsores, cuts, or surgical openings in intensive care patients. If you have a fresh wound that meets the size requirements, you may be able to join.
AngersAges 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 - NCT05415332Recruiting
Tracking outcomes for cardiogenic shock in ICU
This study looks at how people with cardiogenic shock (or very low blood pressure from heart causes) do after treatment in a specialized cardiovascular ICU. It also examines whether care by heart critical-care specialists affects outcomes.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07868549Enrolling by invitation
Comparing three mouth care methods for intensive care patients
This study tests three different mouth care routines to see which one reduces bacteria in the mouth most effectively. It aims to find a simple way to prevent infections in patients who are very ill in the hospital intensive care unit.
ZagrebAges Any age - NCT07837128Recruiting
Gentle breathing support in intensive care
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
Amsterdam, NLAges 18 years+ - NCT07822971Recruiting
Infection prevention training for intensive care teams
This trial tests whether hands-on training for intensive care staff reduces infections in patients. If you are staying in the ICU for more than 48 hours, your data may be used to see if this training helps.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care unit?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 277 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.
