Recruiting studies
- NCT07388628Recruiting
Observing ARTICE® treatment in the ICU
This study is collecting real-world data on ARTICE® treatment for adults in the ICU. It helps doctors understand how this treatment works in daily practice.
MagdeburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07383103RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid combination for septic shock
This trial tests whether two medicines (hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone) can help people with severe infections that cause dangerously low blood pressure (septic shock). It's for patients who have just been diagnosed and haven't used steroids recently.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–90 - NCT07373717Enrolling by invitation
Comparing fluid tolerance tests in shock patients
This trial studies different ways to measure how much extra fluid your body can handle when you are in shock. The goal is to see which method works best and helps doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07345559Recruiting
Personalized blood pressure targets for cardiogenic shock
This trial tests whether setting a personalized blood pressure goal for each person in cardiogenic shock improves recovery compared to standard care. It may help if you have severe shock and can be enrolled within the first 24 hours.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06862700Recruiting
Less vasopressors for heart shock on ECMO
This trial is studying whether using less of the medicines that raise blood pressure (vasopressors) can help people with severe heart failure who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) survive. It may answer if a gentler approach is safer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03559569Recruiting
Study blood changes in people with circulatory shock
This study looks at how blood vessel and white blood cell aging changes during circulatory shock. Your participation may help doctors better understand what’s happening in the body during shock.
StrasbourgAges 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 - NCT06545838Recruiting
Testing renin levels to predict septic shock severity
This trial checks if a blood test measuring renin (a kidney hormone) can help predict how severe septic shock will be and how well patients recover. It looks for early clues in ICU patients with sepsis.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT05726825Recruiting
Add-on plasma exchange for new septic shock
This study tests whether adding plasma exchange (a blood-cleaning treatment) to usual care can improve outcomes for people with new septic shock. If you qualify, you may receive this treatment soon after septic shock is diagnosed to help your body recover.
InnsbruckAges 18–80 - NCT07309029Recruiting
ECMO support during high-risk TAVR heart valve procedure
This trial tests whether placing patients on ECMO (a heart-lung support machine) before a high-risk TAVR valve replacement can improve safety and outcomes. It is for people who are at very high risk due to low blood pressure, severe heart or lung problems, or complex valve anatomy.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–100 - NCT07293923Recruiting
Magenta Elevate™ study for cardiogenic shock
This trial tests a new heart pump called the Magenta Elevate™ to help people whose heart suddenly stops pumping enough blood (cardiogenic shock). It aims to improve blood flow and reduce strain on the heart.
TbilisiAges 40–89 - NCT07266675Recruiting
Recovery after cardiogenic shock study
This trial looks at what happens to people after they survive a serious heart condition called cardiogenic shock, where the heart suddenly can't pump enough blood. Researchers want to understand recovery and improve care for survivors.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07261995Recruiting
Shock wave vs. laser surgery for kidney stones
This trial compares two procedures to break up a single kidney stone. One uses sound waves from outside the body, the other uses a laser through a small scope. Both aim to help you pass the stone more easily.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–65 - NCT06697093Recruiting
Polish registry for cardiogenic shock patients
This trial is a registry that collects information on diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for people with cardiogenic shock (when the heart can't pump enough blood to the body). It may help doctors learn more about this condition and how to treat it better.
Wroclaw, Lower Silesian VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06072430RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new fluid for septic shock with low blood pressure
This study tests an investigational fluid called VBI-S to see if it can help raise blood pressure in people with septic shock who are not responding to standard fluids. You may qualify if you have severe infection and low blood pressure that needs medication support.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06234592Recruiting
Blood pressure medicines and kidney health in septic shock
This trial tests whether different blood pressure medicines protect kidney function better in people with septic shock (a severe infection that causes low blood pressure). It compares norepinephrine (the standard treatment) with other options to see which is best for the kidneys.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06853340Recruiting
Calcium and blood vessel hardening in sepsis shock
This study looks at how calcium buildup in blood vessels and a specific receptor on immune cells might affect recovery from septic shock. It aims to understand if these factors impact how well patients respond to treatment.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07179276Recruiting
Testing CO₂ gap to guide septic shock treatment
This trial checks if measuring the carbon dioxide gap (a sign of how well blood is flowing to organs) can help doctors improve treatment for people in septic shock. Septic shock is a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure and organ damage.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07141355Recruiting
Empagliflozin's effect on small blood vessels in cardiogenic shock
This study looks at whether empagliflozin, a diabetes medicine, helps improve blood flow in tiny blood vessels for people in cardiogenic shock. If it helps, it could improve recovery for people with this serious heart condition.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07136532Recruiting
Predicting fluid needs in children with septic shock using ultrasound
This study tests whether using ultrasound of the neck (carotid artery) and heart can help doctors know which children with septic shock need more fluids. It aims to make fluid treatment safer and more precise in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
CairoAges 1 month–16 years - NCT07124741Recruiting
Can an ultrasound score predict survival in septic shock?
This study tests whether a special ultrasound score (VEXUS) can help doctors predict how well people with septic shock will do. It might help identify those who need more intensive treatment.
AntalyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07119801Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for arm stiffness after stroke
This trial tests whether shock wave therapy can help reduce muscle tightness in the wrist and hand after a stroke. It may be an option if you have had one stroke, are between 35 and 65 years old, and still have stiffness that bothers you.
DenizliAges 35–65 - NCT07068399Recruiting
Shock Wave Therapy for Heart Blood Flow
This study tests if shock wave therapy can help grow new blood vessels in people with non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Researchers will use special heart MRI scans to see if the treatment improves blood flow to your heart.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT05349370Recruiting
Track how lactate levels change in septic shock
This study measures how quickly a blood marker called lactate rises or falls in people with septic shock. It may help doctors understand which patterns are linked to recovery and guide better treatment decisions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for shock?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 313 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.
