- NCT05527717RecruitingPhase 4
PCI vs strategy for heart attack shock needing ECMO
This study looks at the best way to reopen blocked heart arteries (using a stent procedure) in people who had a heart attack complicated by severe shock and need a life-support machine called VA-ECMO. It may help improve outcomes by testing which revascularization approach works best for multi-vessel blockages.

Switching to a stronger heart pump after heart attack
This trial tests whether switching to a more powerful heart pump (Impella 5.5) within 24 hours of a heart attack helps people whose hearts are still struggling despite a standard pump. It may be an option for patients who had a heart attack, received an Impella CP pump, but still need strong medication to keep blood flowing.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–77 - 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+ - NCT06692855Recruiting
Frailty score's role in predicting outcomes for cardiogenic shock
This study looks at whether a simple frailty score (measuring how well someone can function) can help predict recovery for people hospitalized with cardiogenic shock, a condition where the heart suddenly can't pump enough blood.
StrasbourgAges 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+ - NCT07619144Recruiting
Improving Heart Pump Outcomes Using Advanced Data Analysis
This study examines detailed data from patients who received an Impella 5.5 heart pump to treat cardiogenic shock—a life-threatening condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood. Researchers use advanced computer analysis to understand what helps patients recover best.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07609095Recruiting
Testing pulse checks to assess blood circulation during emergency care
This study examines whether checking a patient's pulse at the wrist or other sites can help doctors quickly assess blood circulation problems during emergencies. The goal is to see if simple pulse checks match what more complex monitoring devices show, helping guide faster treatment decisions.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07597122Recruiting
Blood markers study in septic shock patients
This research study measures special blood markers (microRNAs) in patients with septic shock or critical illness to understand how the body responds to severe infection. Results may help doctors better diagnose and treat sepsis in the future.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07582926Recruiting
Cortisol Levels and Outcomes in Critically Ill Infection Patients
This study examines how the body's stress hormone (cortisol) relates to survival in patients with severe blood infections in the ICU. Understanding this relationship may help doctors better predict and manage outcomes in critically ill patients.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07583446RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Istaroxime for acute heart failure with low blood pressure
This trial tests an investigational drug called istaroxime for people hospitalized with acute heart failure and low blood pressure (cardiogenic shock). The drug aims to improve heart function and stabilize blood pressure, potentially helping you feel better and recover.
YerevanAges 18–80 - NCT07560085Recruiting
Heart Pump Device to Help After Heart Surgery Complications
This trial tests a new heart-assist device designed to help patients whose hearts are too weak to pump blood on their own after heart surgery. The device is placed through a catheter (thin tube) and aims to improve blood flow and survival in people who don't respond to standard medications.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT07553715Recruiting
Shock Wave Therapy for Vulvodynia Pain in Women
This study looks at whether a four-session shock wave therapy treatment helps women with vulvodynia (chronic vulva pain). You're eligible if you've already started this treatment and want to help researchers understand how well it works.
Nantes, NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT07550400Recruiting
Ultrasound Imaging to Guide Septic Shock Treatment
This study tests whether using ultrasound (heart imaging and blood-vessel scanning) helps doctors treat septic shock—a life-threatening blood infection—more effectively. The trial measures whether these imaging tools help guide fluid and medication decisions during resuscitation.
CairoAges 18–50 - NCT06670963RecruitingPhase 4
Epoetin alfa and iron for anemia in sepsis
This trial tests whether a combination of epoetin alfa (a medicine that boosts red blood cell production) and iron derisomaltose (an iron supplement) can safely treat anemia in people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help improve your energy and recovery.
KatowiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07539883Recruiting
Septic Shock Treatment With Special Kidney-Filter Devices
This study looks back at how a special kidney filter called oXiris helped patients in the ICU who had septic shock (a life-threatening blood infection) and kidney failure. Researchers want to understand if this filter improved survival and recovery compared to standard treatment.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07523074Recruiting
Early vs. delayed shock wave treatment for leftover kidney stones
This trial compares two timing schedules for using shock waves to break up small kidney stones that remain after a surgical procedure. The goal is to find the best time to treat these leftover stones to help them pass naturally and prevent complications.
Banī Suwayf, Beni-Suef GovernrateAges 18–70 - NCT07516236Recruiting
Using blood oxygen levels to guide fluid treatment in septic shock
This trial is studying whether a measure of oxygen in your blood (called SvO2) can help doctors decide if giving you more fluids will help improve your blood pressure during septic shock. The goal is to make fluid treatment more precise and avoid giving too much fluid.
MenoufAges 18 years+ - NCT04184635Recruiting
ECMO for heart-attack shock in the ICU
This trial studies whether using a life-support machine called ECMO (extra support for the heart and lungs) helps people who develop shock right after a heart attack. It aims to improve outcomes when blood flow is failing and organs may be struggling.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07483710Recruiting
CT scan muscle test in ICU for septic shock
This study looks at whether a CT scan of the lower back muscle, taken when you first arrive in the intensive care unit for septic shock, can help predict recovery three months later. It may help doctors better understand how muscle health affects survival.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06786364Recruiting
Measuring blood flow waves in sepsis patients
This study uses a special light sensor to measure blood flow waves in patients with septic shock. The goal is to see if these waves can help doctors understand how severe the shock is.
Mexico City, CuauhtemocAges 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+ - NCT06705881Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for athletes with jumper's knee
This trial tests if extracorporeal shock wave therapy (a non-surgical treatment using sound waves) can help athletes with patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee. It is for people who have had pain in the patellar tendon for at least 6 months and are active in jumping sports.
