Recruiting studies
- 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.

This trial uses genetic testing to better understand the cause of a newborn’s birth defect and to help doctors choose more personalized treatment. It may help families get clearer answers and more targeted care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT02544100Recruiting
Study for newborns with brain or nervous system problems
This study enrolls newborns (within the first 28 days of life) who have specific brain or nervous system conditions. It tests how these conditions are tracked and studied, which may help improve care and understanding over time.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT06469970RecruitingPhase 2
Glucose distribution in severe burn patients
This study looks at how glucose moves in the body after a severe burn. It may help doctors better manage fluids and sugar levels in the first hours of treatment.
MetzAges 18 years+ - NCT06446453Recruiting
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 - NCT06415916Recruiting
Ultrasound to check fluid needs in the ICU
This study uses ultrasound to see if patients in the intensive care unit need additional fluids. It aims to help doctors decide when to give fluids more accurately.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04507737Recruiting
Rapid response teams for hospitalized patients: who benefits
This trial looks at how hospital rapid response teams should be used and which hospitalized patients benefit most. If you’re an adult on a general ward and need urgent help, the study may help hospitals respond faster in the future.
Hillerød, DanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06296381Recruiting
Measuring normal muscle strength in ICU patients and healthy people
This study measures normal muscle strength in healthy people and ICU patients to create a reference guide. If you are healthy or in the ICU and can follow instructions, you may be able to help.
Recife, BrazilAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT06260345Recruiting
Children with severe bacterial infections in intensive care
This trial looks at how children with severe bacterial infections that start outside the hospital are treated in the pediatric intensive care unit. It helps doctors learn more about these infections to improve care for kids.
CréteilAges Up to 18 years - NCT06229288RecruitingPhase 3
Pneumonia treatment: amoxicillin alone vs. with clavulanate for adults 65+
This trial compares two antibiotics for older adults hospitalized with pneumonia. It aims to see if amoxicillin alone works as well as amoxicillin combined with clavulanate, which might reduce side effects.
Saint-Nazaire, FranceAges 65 years+ - NCT05606809Recruiting
Score brain injury after cardiac arrest ICU admission
This study compares different scoring methods to estimate early brain injury when people are admitted to the ICU after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors choose the best early assessment approach for patients who are in a coma.
Nantes, Pays de LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT06180902Recruiting
Testing fluid response methods in patients with reduced consciousness
This trial compares different ways to check if a patient in the ICU with lowered consciousness needs more IV fluids. It aims to find the most accurate method, which could help doctors give the right amount of fluid.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06172491Recruiting
Automated tool to measure ICU delirium severity
This study tests a computerized tool that automatically measures how severe delirium (sudden confusion) is for ICU patients. Researchers want to see if it can help monitor and manage delirium better without adding extra work for nurses.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT06117345Enrolling by invitation
PICU Journal for Parents and Caregivers
This study tests a journal to help parents and caregivers stay involved while their child is in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to see if the journal improves communication and engagement.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT02804438Recruiting
Pupil measurement checks in neurocritical care patients
This study collects normal (baseline) results from a handheld eye pupil camera (a pupillometer) used during routine neuro–intensive care checks. It may help clinicians better interpret these eye measurements in future patients.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT06100978Recruiting
Patient experiences after severe seizures
This study interviews people who had a severe, prolonged seizure (status epilepticus) and were treated in intensive care. It asks how they feel and what they experienced 3 months to 5 years later.
AngoulêmeAges 18 years+ - NCT05371886Recruiting
Testing how morphine (with or without midazolam) behaves in NICU babies
This study measures how morphine works in very young babies, and whether adding midazolam changes how the medicines behave and affect the body. It may help doctors better choose and dose pain/sedation medicines for babies in intensive care.
BrestAges 5 months–10 months - NCT06054828Recruiting
Modified ICU program to prevent confusion
This trial tests a special program for people in the ICU who are on a breathing machine. The program aims to prevent confusion and help patients recover better.
Taipei, National Taiwan UniversityAges 18 years+ - NCT02539407Recruiting
Study drug levels in critically ill children
This trial measures how anti-infective medicines move through a child’s body while they are in the hospital or during follow-up. The goal is to better understand dosing and drug exposure in critically ill children.
ParisAges 1 day–18 years - NCT05950958Recruiting
Preventing ICU confusion with several supportive care steps
This trial tests whether a set of different care steps in the ICU can help prevent delirium, a sudden episode of confusion. It may help people who are at higher risk because they will likely need ICU care for more than a day.
SeoulAges 50 years+ - NCT05936710Recruiting
Citrate vs acetate dialysis to prevent low blood pressure
This study compares two types of dialysis fluid (citrate-based vs acetate-based) to see which better helps protect blood pressure during intermittent dialysis. It may help people in intensive care who are at risk of dialysis-related low blood pressure.
BéthuneAges 18 years+ - NCT05928767Recruiting
Using frailty scores to predict death in ICU sepsis
This trial checks whether a “frailty” rating (how physically/mentally vulnerable someone is) can predict the risk of death in ICU patients with sepsis shock. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients earlier and tailor care.
BéthuneAges 18–65 - NCT05889507RecruitingPhase 3
Cooling treatment for newborns with mild brain injury
This Phase 3 study tests whether cooling a newborn’s body can help babies with mild brain injury after a difficult birth. It aims to see if cooling improves brain-related outcomes compared with standard care.

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.
