Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT06638073Recruiting
Continuous vitals monitoring after non-cardiac surgery
This study tests a new device that tracks your vital signs (like heart rate and oxygen levels) continuously after surgery, even when you go home. It may help doctors catch problems early and improve your recovery.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - 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 - NCT07761364Recruiting
Contact with family in the intensive care unit
This study looks at how a visit from your main family caregiver affects your body while you are in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see if having that personal contact can help you feel better and recover.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–59 - NCT07694687Recruiting
Studying a tool to spot confusion in intensive care patients
This study tests a new way to check for delirium (sudden confusion) in patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It also looks at how family members can help spot these changes, so the care team can help sooner.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05279547Recruiting
Bed-cycle exercise study to test muscle oxygen during ICU care
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06384287Recruiting
Checking skin blood flow in ICU patients with shock
This study tests a new way to check blood flow in the tiny blood vessels of the skin for people in the ICU with circulatory failure from sepsis or heart failure. It helps doctors understand how well blood is reaching tissues, which may guide treatment.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05409573Recruiting
Check oxygen monitoring during pre-intubation in the ICU
This study tests whether a specific oxygen level monitor (end-tidal oxygen, or EtO2) can be used during “preoxygenation” before breathing tube placement. It may help clinicians intubate more safely for people who urgently need a breathing tube due to serious breathing failure.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT06716840Recruiting
Remimazolam for sedation after heart surgery
This trial tests a medication called Remimazolam Besylate to sedate patients who need a breathing tube after heart surgery. The goal is to help patients relax while they recover in the intensive care unit.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06683781Recruiting
Breathing machine settings and weaning success study
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
Buenos AiresAges 18–100 - NCT06442657Recruiting
Preventing bedsores in patients placed on their stomach
This trial tests a new way to prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) while patients lie on their stomachs for breathing support. It's for adults in the ICU with severe lung problems who are on a ventilator.
CaenAges 18–110 - NCT05924126Recruiting
Antibiotics for ICU patients with sepsis
This study looks at treating ICU patients with sepsis (a serious body-wide infection) using antibiotics. It may help doctors understand which antibiotic approach works best for critically ill patients.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT05671614Recruiting
Prevent muscle stem cell failure after critical illness
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+ - NCT05814094Recruiting
Testing a red blood transfusion approach during ECMO
This study looks at whether giving red blood cell transfusions in a specific way is practical and safe for people receiving ECMO (a heart-lung support machine). It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the plan can be carried out smoothly and safely.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05298982Enrolling by invitation
Join a long-term follow-up study for ICU care
This study follows people who joined the TEAM Phase III trial to learn how ICU care affects health over the long term. Your participation helps researchers understand outcomes long after the initial treatment.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04831242Recruiting
Monitoring newborn health in intensive care
This study checks how a newborn’s body changes over time in an intensive care unit, using routine monitoring. Your child may benefit by being closely observed, and the results may help improve care for future newborns.
CambridgeAges Any age - NCT05457569Recruiting
Parent support program for babies at high brain risk
This study checks whether a coordinated parent support program delivered after NICU (and after discharge) is practical and helpful. It gathers feedback through interviews with parents and professionals to improve how care and parenting support are organized.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04180397RecruitingPhase 4
Removing extra fluid in critically ill ICU patients with overload
This trial studies a medicine strategy to remove extra fluid from the body in ICU patients who have fluid overload. It aims to see whether controlled fluid removal is safer and better for recovery than usual care.
SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT04876742Recruiting
Wheat beer to help prevent confusion in ICU patients
This study tests whether drinking wheat beer can lower the risk of delirium, a sudden confusion that can happen in intensive care. If you’re at higher risk and can take the study drink safely, this could help you avoid or reduce delirium.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT03934112Recruiting
Studies transfusion practices in intensive care
This trial looks at how blood transfusions were used in intensive care units and how that affected illness and survival. It may help improve transfusion decisions for future ICU patients.
BesançonAges Any age - 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 - 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 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 445 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.
