Electrical stimulation for muscle weakness after severe stroke
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation technique, called functional electrical stimulation, can help patients recover muscle strength after a severe stroke that left them weak in the arms and legs. It may offer a new way to aid rehabilitation in the early months after stroke.
Florence, FIAges 18–80 - NCT07136298Recruiting

This study looks at how well different healthcare professionals can identify seizures in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. It aims to improve seizure detection and care.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges Any age - NCT07163247Recruiting
Pet robot help for ICU patients on a ventilator
This trial tests if spending time with a robotic pet (like a dog or cat) can help patients in the intensive care unit who are having trouble breathing on their own. It is for people who have been on a breathing machine for more than three days and whose first attempt to breathe without it didn't work.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07176624Recruiting
Early prone positioning and tube feeding in ICU
This study tests whether early prone positioning (lying on your stomach) and early tube feeding can help people with severe lung failure in the ICU recover faster. It's for adults with organ failure and severe ARDS who can safely be placed on their stomach.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT07179276Recruiting
Testing CO₂ gap to guide septic shock treatment
This trial checks if measuring the carbon dioxide gap (a sign of how well blood is flowing to organs) can help doctors improve treatment for people in septic shock. Septic shock is a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure and organ damage.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07180407Recruiting
Post-ICU pain study for adults
This study looks at pain after a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand pain in patients who were urgently admitted to the ICU and stayed for at least two days.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07193069Recruiting
Metformin overdose in the ICU – signs and dapagliflozin effects
This study looks at patients who are in the ICU after taking too much metformin (a diabetes drug), sometimes along with another drug called dapagliflozin (Farxiga). The goal is to understand how overdose affects the body and what signs doctors should watch for.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07208110Recruiting
Trauma deaths in the ICU
This study looks at patterns of death in trauma patients who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors understand how to improve care for seriously injured people.
Villavicencio, Meta DepartmentAges 15–100 - NCT07230041Recruiting
Antibiotic removal during kidney therapy in the ICU
This trial studies how much certain antibiotics (meropenem, linezolid, and daptomycin) are removed when you're on a special blood-filtering machine called continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for severe kidney injury. The results could help doctors give the right dose of antibiotics to treat infections effectively.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07233304Recruiting
Lung opening procedure safety in children on breathing machines
This trial tests a lung opening procedure (alveolar recruitment maneuver) in children on a breathing machine to see if it's safe and helpful. It compares how well the procedure works with different machine settings.
Canuelas, Buenos AiresAges 1 month–14 years - NCT07233837Recruiting
Cleaning ICU surfaces with hydrogen peroxide and UV light
This trial tests a new way to clean surfaces in intensive care units (ICUs) using hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet (UV) light. It aims to see if this method reduces infections in patients.
Barbalha, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT07234201Recruiting
Virtual reality for ICU mobility
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (a special headset) can help people in the intensive care unit (ICU) move more and recover better. It is for adults who have been in the ICU for at least 3 days and have trouble moving.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07284888Recruiting
Prone positioning for ARDS patients on ventilators

Lung Ultrasound-Guided Surfactant For Preterm Infants
This study tests whether giving surfactant medication guided by a lung ultrasound, instead of by X-ray, helps preterm babies with breathing problems get better without needing a breathing tube. Babies in the study receive surfactant through a thin tube while still on non-invasive breathing support.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges birth–2 hours - NCT07384585Recruiting

- 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.
