The therapy is non-invasive and may offer an alternative to medications or injections.
Kaohsiung, TaiwanAges 20–75 - NCT07643610Recruiting
Heart Failure Crisis Registry Study
This registry collects information from patients admitted to the hospital with cardiogenic shock—a serious condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to the body. Doctors will gather data to better understand what happens to these patients and how to improve their care.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT04288635Recruiting
Testing a nutrient supplement for energy problems in septic shock
This study looks at whether a metabolite (nutrient) supplement can help the body’s cells work better when someone is in septic shock. It is done in the ICU, and it may benefit people with sepsis who still have poor circulation and high lactate levels despite standard treatment.
Angers, Maine et LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT05700617RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing cardiac pumping strength in cardiogenic shock
This early study looks at how well the heart is pumping in people with cardiogenic shock, using measurements taken during a right-heart catheter (a small pressure-monitoring test). It may help doctors better assess heart function and guide next-step treatments like LVAD, heart transplant, or valve surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06569615Recruiting
Comparing shock wave, laser, and cold therapy for sacroiliitis pain
This trial compares three different treatments (shock wave therapy, laser therapy, and cold therapy) for people with sacroiliitis, a condition that causes pain in the lower back, buttocks, or hips. The goal is to see which treatment works best for reducing pain and improving movement.
Najran, Najran RegionAges 20–50 - NCT05888974Recruiting
Test of heart ultrasound to guide fluids in shock
This study checks whether a specific heart ultrasound measurement can help doctors decide if you will benefit from extra fluid during early emergency treatment for shock. It may help avoid unnecessary fluids and support faster, safer decision-making.
NîmesAges 18 years+ - NCT04474106Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for new spinal cord injuries
This study tests whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (non-surgical shock waves delivered from outside the body) can improve movement and sensation after a recent spinal cord injury. It may help people recover motor (movement) and sensory (feeling) function within months after injury.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18–99 - NCT06964685Recruiting
Impella heart pump in heart attack with shock
This study looks at how well the Impella CP heart pump works for people who have a severe heart attack that causes their heart to pump too weakly to keep blood flowing to their body. It's a registry that follows your care to improve best practices.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07633340Recruiting
Shock Wave Therapy Plus Rehab for Shoulder Blade Problems
This study compares two treatment approaches for scapular dyskinesis (abnormal shoulder blade movement): one group receives shock wave therapy along with standard exercises, while the other group does exercises alone. Researchers want to see if adding shock wave therapy helps improve shoulder blade function and reduces pain.
TantaAges 18 years+ - NCT06351150RecruitingPhase 3
Testing angiotensin II for refractory distributive shock
This study tests an injection of angiotensin II (a substance that helps tighten blood vessels) versus a placebo for patients with distributive shock that is not responding to standard treatments. It may help raise blood pressure and improve outcomes.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06688344Recruiting
Shock wave therapy after ACL surgery
This trial tests if adding focused shock wave therapy to standard rehab can improve recovery after ACL reconstruction using a hamstring graft. It may help reduce pain and speed up healing.
IstanbulAges 18–45 - NCT07653659Recruiting
Lowering norepinephrine in shock: effects on blood vessel pressure
This study tests whether reducing the dose of a medicine that raises blood pressure (norepinephrine) affects how blood moves through the body in people with distributive shock. If you are on a steady low dose of norepinephrine and have a special heart monitor (PiCCO catheter), this trial may help doctors understand safer ways to wean the medicine.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06460519Recruiting
Comparing wrist and groin blood pressure in shock patients
This study looks at how blood pressure readings differ between the wrist and the groin in people with severe low blood pressure (shock) who are not recovering from heart surgery. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat shock by comparing these two measurements.
BronAges 18–99 - NCT05850962Recruiting
Personalized blood pressure targets for ICU shock care
This study compares individualized blood pressure goals versus the usual (standard) targets for adults in the ICU with shock. The aim is to see whether tailored blood pressure treatment can improve outcomes by better matching each person’s needs.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges 40 years+ - NCT05956418RecruitingPhase 4
Testing centhaquine for low-blood-pressure shock patients
This trial studies whether centhaquine is safe and can help treat adults in the emergency room or ICU who have hypovolemic shock (dangerously low blood pressure from low circulating fluid). Participants receive the usual shock care, and the study adds this medicine to see if outcomes improve.
Nellore, Andhra PradeshAges 18 years+ - NCT05655065Recruiting
Testing higher blood pressure to protect kidneys in shock
This trial studies whether aiming for a higher average blood pressure (using medicines) can better protect kidney function in critically ill adults with shock. You may be asked to have close kidney and heart monitoring while receiving blood-pressure support.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07320807Recruiting
Shock wave therapy after flexor tendon repair
This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy can help improve hand function after flexor tendon repair surgery. The therapy uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce scar tissue, and it may help you regain movement more quickly.
AnkaraAges 18–50 - NCT07027202Recruiting
Early heart unloading for severe shock after ECMO
This trial tests a possible treatment to help the heart recover faster in people who need ECMO support for severe cardiogenic shock (when the heart can't pump enough blood). The treatment involves early use of a device to reduce pressure on the heart's main pumping chamber.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06296017Recruiting
