Nerve Block to Reduce Confusion in Older ICU Patients
This study tests whether a nerve-blocking injection (stellate ganglion block) can reduce confusion and help restore normal sleep-wake cycles in older adults staying in the intensive care unit. Researchers hope this treatment may help patients recover faster and feel more alert.
Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 65–99 - NCT07542925Recruiting
Predicting ICU Needs After Cancer Surgery
This study helps doctors predict which cancer surgery patients will need intensive care after their operation. By understanding these patterns better, hospitals can prepare resources and plan better care for patients like you.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07548580Recruiting
Early Movement Therapy for Brain Injury in Hospital ICU
This study looks at how gentle, early physical movement during ICU care affects recovery in patients with serious brain injuries like stroke or head trauma. Researchers will track how patients respond to a structured movement program while they're on a breathing machine.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07525284Recruiting
Patient comfort experiences after intensive care stay
This study asks people who recently left the intensive care unit (ICU) about their comfort and experiences during their stay. The goal is to understand how to reduce discomfort for future ICU patients.
Aubagne, FranceAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07524517Recruiting
Face Mask Shapes for Newborn Breathing Support
This study compares two different face mask shapes used to help newborns breathe before a breathing tube is placed. Researchers want to see which mask shape works better and is easier for doctors to use.
Dublin, LeinsterAges Any age - NCT07511322Enrolling by invitation
PechaKucha nutrition training for ICU nurses
This trial tests if a quick-paced teaching method called PechaKucha helps intensive care unit nurses learn about feeding patients better. It is for nurses who want to improve their skills.
SanliurfaAges 18 years+ - NCT07501494Recruiting
Intensive care study: quality of care and outcomes
This trial examines how well intensive care units perform by looking at patient data, hospital records, and costs. It may help improve care for future patients.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06766461RecruitingPhase 4
Optimizing antibiotic dosing in ICU patients with septic shock
This trial checks if giving higher doses of beta-lactam antibiotics (a type of strong antibiotic) right from the start helps people in the ICU with septic shock. It aims to find the best dose to fight the infection quickly.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07485244Recruiting
EEG brain monitoring in ICU patients at risk for delirium
This study uses a simple headband (EEG) to monitor brain activity in ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. The goal is to see if the EEG can help detect delirium earlier, so doctors can provide better care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07481773Recruiting
Blood test to guide antibiotic decisions in the ICU
This trial uses a new blood test (called BV test) to help doctors decide if antibiotics should be stopped or continued for ICU patients with suspected or confirmed infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while keeping patients safe.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06027684Recruiting
Intensive care decisions, survival, and dying well
This study talks to adults who have been in an intensive care unit (ICU) to understand their views on life-sustaining treatments, end-of-life wishes, and when they would want less or more care. It aims to improve how doctors and families make these hard decisions together.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT07478367Recruiting
Muscle weakness in hospitalized patients outside the ICU
This study looks at muscle weakness that can develop when you are in the hospital for an acute illness but not in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand how common this weakness is and what factors might be involved.
RozzanoAges Any age - NCT07469072RecruitingPhase 2
Nafamostat doses for dialysis blood thinning in ICU
This trial is testing different doses of a blood thinner called nafamostat in patients who are in the ICU and need continuous kidney dialysis (CRRT). The goal is to find which dose works best to prevent clots in the dialysis machine without causing bleeding problems.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07467551Recruiting
Pain scale study for patients on breathing machines
This study tests a pain scale for patients who are on a breathing machine and cannot speak. It aims to help doctors better recognize pain in these patients.
IstanbulAges 18–85 - NCT07467265Recruiting
Testing a breathing test to safely remove ventilators
This study is testing a simple way to measure how well you breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator in the ICU. It helps doctors decide the best time to safely remove the breathing tube.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 22 years+ - NCT07457554Recruiting
Can respiratory quotient help ICU patients on ventilators?
This study looks at whether using a simple measurement called the respiratory quotient (a sign of how your body is using fuel) can help doctors make better decisions for patients on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may lead to safer, more personalized care.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–85 - NCT07460141Recruiting
Blood tests to predict death risk after surgery in the ICU
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
TrabzonAges 18 years+ - NCT06305468Recruiting
Toxoplasmosis prognosis in ICU patients diagnosed by PCR
This study looks at how people with severe toxoplasmosis (a parasitic infection) that affects the brain or spreads in the body, and who need intensive care, recover. It uses a sensitive test called PCR to confirm the infection.

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.
