Recruiting studies
- NCT03793257Recruiting
ECMO patient registry for adults in Australia and New Zealand
This is a research registry for adults who need a breathing and/or heart support machine called ECMO while in the hospital. It collects information to better understand who receives ECMO and how patients do over time.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 18 years+ - NCT05860894Recruiting
Study of new ICU atrial fibrillation
This trial looks at people who develop a new irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It tests an approach to help with that condition after critical illness, aiming to improve outcomes for those affected.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT07868549Enrolling by invitation

This study tests three different mouth care routines to see which one reduces bacteria in the mouth most effectively. It aims to find a simple way to prevent infections in patients who are very ill in the hospital intensive care unit.
ZagrebAges Any age - NCT05395195RecruitingPhase 3
Erythropoietin for newborn brain injury in low-resource settings
This Phase 3 trial studies whether erythropoietin (a medicine related to red-blood-cell growth) can improve outcomes for newborns with moderate to severe brain injury after birth. The study focuses on babies born in low- and middle-income countries and aims to reduce harm from this early brain condition.
DhakaAges 1 hour–6 hours - NCT06373341Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for arm and hand after ICU stay
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) games can help you regain movement and strength in your arms and hands after a long hospital stay in the ICU. It is designed for people who live in the Frisian region of the Netherlands and can understand Dutch.
Leeuwarden, Provincie FrieslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07850908Enrolling by invitation
Ventilation method for newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension
This study tests a specific type of breathing machine (ventilator) that adjusts air pressure to help newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension breathe better. It aims to see if this method improves oxygen levels and outcomes for babies needing mechanical ventilation in their first week of life.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 1 day–2 months - NCT07842510Recruiting
Controlled oxygen for copd flare-ups in the icu
This trial tests whether giving oxygen in a carefully controlled way (using a target range) works better than standard oxygen treatment for people in the ICU with a COPD flare-up. It aims to see if the controlled approach leads to better outcomes, like helping you recover faster.
Mahdia, Mahdia GovernorateAges 40 years+ - NCT07848165Recruiting
Probiotics to prevent pneumonia in children on breathing machines
This trial tests whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent pneumonia in children who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. If your child is on a ventilator, these friendly bacteria might help keep their lungs healthy.
Tanta, Al GharbiaAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07837180Recruiting
Music for sleep and comfort in NICU newborns
This study tests if playing two types of music—TUMATA and Mozart—can help babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) sleep better and feel more comfortable. If your baby is a full-term newborn in the NICU and breathing on their own, this music therapy might help them rest.
KaramanAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07837128Recruiting
Gentle breathing support in intensive care
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
Amsterdam, NLAges 18 years+ - NCT07828301Recruiting
Understanding recovery after a hospital stay with a breathing machine
This study looks at how people recover after being on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit (ICU). The researchers want to understand if social and economic factors affect recovery, which may help improve support for patients after they leave the hospital.
QuillotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07822971Recruiting
Infection prevention training for intensive care teams
This trial tests whether hands-on training for intensive care staff reduces infections in patients. If you are staying in the ICU for more than 48 hours, your data may be used to see if this training helps.
MetzAges 18 years+ - NCT07801092Recruiting
Sleep-promotion protocol to prevent delirium in intensive care patients
This trial tests a special sleep-promoting protocol (using eye masks, earplugs, and other measures) to help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care patients. If you or a loved one are in the ICU, this treatment might help reduce confusion and improve recovery.
Çanakkale, ÇanakkaleAges 18 years+ - NCT05562505Recruiting
Using ECMO to help you breathe, sit up, and come off a ventilator
This trial tests whether a heart-lung machine called venovenous ECMO can help people with severe breathing failure get less sedated, get extubated (have the breathing tube removed), and start moving. It’s for certain adults who are on a ventilator for a short time and have specific oxygenation problems.
Darlinghurst, New South WalesAges 18–65 - NCT02498587Recruiting
Study of severe breathing illness over a short period
This study looks at people who recently had fever and cough along with trouble breathing, to better understand severe acute respiratory illness. By joining, you may help researchers identify patterns that could improve recognition and care.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges Any age - NCT02893462Recruiting
Collecting health and signal data from ICU patients
This trial sets up a way to collect and store physiological readings (like vital-sign data) from adults in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve how doctors understand and monitor critically ill patients over time.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT07780448Recruiting
Learning to recognize heart rhythms for new ICU nurses
This study tests a teaching method that uses real-life cases to help new nurses in intensive care units learn how to identify heart rhythm problems. It might improve their skills in reading heart monitors, which can be important for patient safety.
Istanbul, KartalAges 18 years+ - NCT07771101Recruiting
Using a pain monitor to time breathing-tube removal
This study tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT07762196Recruiting
Does listening to music reduce distress after intensive care?
This study tests whether listening to a personalised music playlist helps adults feel less distressed after a stay in intensive care or a high dependency unit. It could provide a simple way to support emotional recovery at home.
Kirkcaldy, FifeAges 18 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 - 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 - NCT05844579Recruiting
Early breathing and mobilization support for ICU lung injury
This study looks at whether starting early movement and breathing-related care while in the ICU helps people with ARDS (a serious lung condition). You may be eligible if you recently needed a breathing machine and are expected to need it for a bit longer.
TokyoAges 16 years+ - NCT07741851Recruiting
Monitoring muscle relaxants in the intensive care unit
This study tests a new way to check how well muscle relaxants are working in intensive care patients. It aims to make sure the monitoring is reliable, which could help doctors adjust treatment better for each patient.

- 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.
