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+ - 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 - NCT07226479Recruiting
Non-invasive vein pressure test for heart patients
This study tests if a non-invasive method can estimate central venous pressure, reducing the need for invasive catheters in heart patients.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06735898Recruiting
A combined therapy for recovery after intensive care
This trial tests a combination of CYTOFLAVIN (given as an IV and later as a pill) to help people with long-term symptoms after spending time in the ICU. It aims to improve muscle weakness, breathing, swallowing, and energy levels during later stages of rehabilitation.
Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT07220733RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exoskeleton rehab after chest surgery in the ICU
This trial tests whether a self-balancing exoskeleton can help people who had chest surgery and are weak (bedbound or nearly so) start walking earlier in the ICU. It aims to see if it is safe and possible to use this device for rehabilitation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06545786Recruiting
Brain monitoring during surgery to prevent confusion
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
Moscow, Moscow OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT06920173RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose vasopressors for shock in the ICU
This study tests whether giving low-dose blood pressure medicines through a standard IV (instead of a larger central line) is safe and effective for patients with shock in the intensive care unit.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04176094Recruiting
Trial of ICU overnight resident scheduling plans
This study tests whether changing how ICU residents are scheduled for overnight shifts affects training and ICU operations. It looks at participating adult ICU patients and the residents and staff who work overnight during the study periods.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06709456Recruiting
Draining fluid from lungs in the ICU
This trial tests whether draining fluid that builds up around the lungs helps patients with breathing problems in the intensive care unit. You may be eligible if you are in the ICU, have at least 2 cm of fluid on an ultrasound or CT scan, and need extra oxygen or a breathing machine.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07210476Recruiting
Sleep screening tool for children with chronic conditions
This study tests a Turkish version of a sleep screening tool for children (ages 1 month to 18 years) with complex chronic conditions who were in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to help doctors assess sleep problems more easily.
IstanbulAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07203131Recruiting
NAD+ metabolism and kidney risk in intensive care

TrappesAges 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.

CambridgeAges Any age - NCT06584604Recruiting
Calibrating esophageal balloon for breathing machine patients
This trial is testing how to calibrate an esophageal balloon (a thin tube that measures pressure in your chest) for people on a breathing machine. If you are already sedated and have this tube in place, participating may help doctors get more accurate readings to improve your breathing support.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07201311RecruitingPhase 2
Stomach decontamination for severe poisoning in the ICU

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 416 recruiting intensive care 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 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 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.
