Recruiting studies
- NCT06466980Recruiting
Study of ventilator-related events after cardiac arrest
This study looks at lung-related problems that can happen when someone is on a breathing machine after surviving a cardiac arrest. If you qualify, researchers will track your recovery to better understand how to prevent these complications.

MetzAges 18 years+ - NCT06473415Recruiting
Lormetazepam for sleep in the ICU
This trial tests whether a sleep medication called lormetazepam can improve sleep quality and brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine. It may help if you need sedation and are expected to stay in the ICU for at least two days.
Mitte, State of BerlinAges 18–100 - NCT06474793Recruiting

Kayseri, KocasinanAges 18 years+ - NCT07694206Recruiting
Digital and blood tests for delirium in the ICU
This trial studies whether digital tools and blood tests can help detect delirium (sudden confusion) in ICU patients. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could lead to better monitoring and care.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT07691710Enrolling by invitation
Blood gases and pressure injury risk in ICU patients
This study looks at how blood oxygen levels and other measures relate to the risk of pressure injuries (bedsores) in people staying in the intensive care unit for at least 3 days. It may help find ways to prevent these injuries.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06513130Recruiting
Checkup after ICU for adults 75 and older
This study looks at how well older adults (75+) do after leaving the intensive care unit. It will test a simple checkup done at discharge to see if it helps doctors plan better care.
StrasbourgAges 75 years+ - NCT06532994Recruiting
Prediction tool for recovery after critical illness
This study looks at how well people recover after critical illness. It tests a prediction tool to help guide rehabilitation for patients who needed a breathing machine and started rehab in the ICU.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–90 - NCT06544148Recruiting
Measuring lung artery pressure with a chest belt in ICU patients
This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure in your lung artery using a special belt that sends small electrical signals through your chest. It may help doctors monitor your heart and lungs without extra invasive procedures.
BernAges 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+ - NCT06545838Recruiting
Testing renin levels to predict septic shock severity
This trial checks if a blood test measuring renin (a kidney hormone) can help predict how severe septic shock will be and how well patients recover. It looks for early clues in ICU patients with sepsis.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06576895Recruiting
Nutrition study in critically ill adults
This study looks at how nutrition is given to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand current practices and may help improve care for future patients.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06593756Recruiting
Heart-Lung Support and Fluid Response Study
This study watches how your body responds to fluids while on VA ECMO (a heart-lung machine). The goal is to improve care for people needing this support.
ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT06593717Recruiting
Monitoring blood flow in VV-ECMO patients
This study tests how doctors can monitor your blood flow and fluid needs while you are on VV-ECMO. It involves a simple maneuver where your legs are raised to see if your heart needs more fluid.
ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT06279793RecruitingPhase 2
Fish oil for recovery after high-risk heart surgery
This trial tests if giving fish oil through a vein before and after heart surgery can help patients recover faster. It is for people who have a high risk of complications during surgery.
AugsburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06607055Recruiting
Immune markers in ICU patients with pneumonia
This study looks at how the immune system reacts in ICU patients on a ventilator who have pneumonia. By measuring immune markers, the researchers hope to better understand and predict complications like ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06624618Recruiting
Fast DNA test for sepsis in the ICU
This study tests a quick DNA-based test to find bloodstream infections in ICU patients. If you are getting standard blood cultures for a suspected infection, you may be able to join.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 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+ - NCT06664333Recruiting
Siblings' experiences when a brother or sister is in the ICU
This study explores what it's like for children and teenagers when their brother or sister is in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). By talking with siblings, researchers hope to better understand their feelings and needs.
ParisAges 9–18 - NCT06665529Recruiting
Predicting 28-day survival in the ICU
This trial looks at how doctors and nurses predict survival for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, compared to a standard medical score. It may help understand the accuracy of these predictions.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT06685367Recruiting
AI software for predicting acute kidney injury in ICU
This trial tests software that uses artificial intelligence to predict if a patient in the ICU might develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage). It aims to see if the software is cost-effective and could help doctors catch problems earlier.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT06695169Recruiting
Studying smart pump and electronic health record use in hospital units

- Are there clinical trials for intensive care?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 443 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.
