Recruiting studies
- NCT05817851RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C by vein after cardiac arrest shock
This Phase 2 study tests whether early high-dose vitamin C given through a vein can improve outcomes for people who remain unconscious after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with shock. It may help by supporting recovery during the time when the body is under severe stress.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05833828Recruiting
Testing blood-pressure hormone changes during bypass surgery
This study looks at how a blood-pressure hormone system (RAAS) changes during coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help researchers understand better how to manage blood pressure and heart stress around the time of surgery.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05878223Recruiting
Testing different shockwave doses for ankle stiffness after stroke
This study compares different doses of shockwave treatment to reduce ankle muscle tightness (spasticity) after stroke. If you have persistent ankle stiffness and can safely receive the treatment, your results may help find the best dose for symptom relief.
HsinchuAges 20 years+ - NCT05903170Recruiting
Shock energy study for heart rhythm conversion in atrial fibrillation
This trial tests whether using a specific “shock energy” during electrical cardioversion works safely and effectively for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. You might be eligible if your cardioversion is planned (not an emergency) and your doctors determine you can safely take blood thinners.
Wellington, Wellington RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05907239Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for jaw muscle pain
This trial tests whether focused shock wave treatment can reduce chronic jaw pain caused by jaw muscle problems. You might qualify if you have moderate to severe temporomandibular (jaw) pain for at least 3 months.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05913622Recruiting
Testing heart pump unloading during VA ECMO in adults
This study will look at whether “left ventricular unloading” (using a device like IABP or Impella) helps people who are in cardiogenic shock while on VA ECMO. It compares outcomes for people who get unloading versus those who stay on VA ECMO alone.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT05975671Recruiting
Survey in pediatric ICU to reduce upfront vancomycin use
This study is a survey and quality-improvement effort in participating children’s intensive care units. It aims to understand and change how doctors decide to start vancomycin (an antibiotic) when sepsis is suspected, to improve care and avoid unnecessary use.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Any age - NCT06037785Recruiting
Self-management support after an ICD shock
This study tests a self-management program to help people who have received a shock from their implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). The goal is to see if this program can improve recovery and well-being after a shock.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06070350RecruitingPhase 3
Massive transfusion for life-threatening bleeding in children
This study tests whether adding the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) to a massive blood transfusion helps control life-threatening bleeding in children who are severely injured. It compares two groups: one gets TXA and the other gets a placebo (a dummy drug with no active ingredient).
Tucson, ArizonaAges Up to 17 years - NCT06081205Recruiting
Heart disease patients in intensive care study
This trial observes patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit with acute heart or blood vessel problems. It aims to learn more about their conditions and treatments.
Ioannina, EpirusAges Any age - NCT06143137Recruiting
Long-term recovery after septic shock treatment
This study checks on people who had septic shock and were in the ReActIF-ICE trial. It looks at how their immune system recovered over time after an experimental therapy.
MagdeburgAges 18–80 - NCT06162247Recruiting
Registry study for heart patients in intensive care
This study tracks patients with sudden heart problems admitted to a special heart intensive care unit. It helps doctors learn more about these conditions to improve future care.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT06178822Recruiting
New blood tests to diagnose sepsis in the ER
This study aims to find new ways to quickly diagnose sepsis (a severe response to infection) in patients arriving at the emergency room. If successful, these new tests could help doctors start treatment faster.
Almere Stad, FlevolandAges 18 years+ - NCT06184659RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two antibiotics for sepsis in critical illness
This trial compares two common antibiotics, meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam, to see which works better for adults with sepsis who are critically ill. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for serious infections.
Copenhagen, København ØAges 18 years+ - NCT06192914Recruiting
EPAP: A follow-up survey for severe food allergies
This study is a follow-up survey for people who have had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to certain foods and are already in a larger allergy registry. By answering questions online, you can help researchers understand more about living with food allergies.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges Any age - NCT06193980Recruiting
ICU recovery exercise test study
This trial looks at how well your heart and lungs work together after a long stay in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a simple exercise test to check your recovery after leaving the hospital.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT06226441Recruiting
Aminoglycoside antibiotics for sepsis with low kidney function
This study tests how well aminoglycoside antibiotics work in people with sepsis who also have low kidney function. It may help find the best way to treat serious infections in patients with kidney problems.
Larissa, ThessalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06249750RecruitingPhase 2
Heat shock therapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer
This trial tests a near-infrared whole-body heat shock technique to treat prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. It aims to see if this heat-based approach can help control the cancer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–90 - NCT06253104Recruiting
Tracking muscle changes in acute heart failure
This study measures how thigh muscles change in people hospitalized with severe heart failure. It aims to understand muscle loss during this condition and how it relates to recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06287684Recruiting
Sepsis treatment study based on genetic subtypes
This study looks at how different genetic types of sepsis affect treatment. It aims to find better therapies for your specific sepsis subtype.
MsidaAges 18 years+ - NCT06308055Recruiting
Impella heart pump study in ICU
This study is for people in the intensive care unit who are using a heart pump called Impella. It will collect information about how well the heart pumps blood during treatment to help doctors learn more.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06330610Recruiting
Intermittent tube feeding for organ failure in the ICU
This trial tests if giving tube feeding at certain times of day, instead of continuously, helps people on breathing machines recover from organ failure faster. It is for patients who need a breathing tube and are receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Rouen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06336655RecruitingPhase 2
Studying heart pump therapy for severe heart shock
This trial tests if unloading the heart during ECMO support helps patients recover better from cardiogenic shock. It compares different ways to reduce the heart's workload.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06370078Recruiting
Albumin 20% vs Standard Fluids for Septic Shock
This trial tests whether giving a concentrated protein solution (albumin 20%) early in septic shock helps better than standard fluids (crystalloids). It's for people who have been in septic shock less than 24 hours and still need blood pressure support.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for shock?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 328 recruiting shock 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 shock 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 shock 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.
