Recruiting studies
- NCT04158479Recruiting
Registry for people on ECMO life support
This registry collects information about people who are placed on ECMO, a heart-lung machine used to support breathing and/or circulation. It may help doctors better understand who benefits and how to manage ECMO in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07843628Recruiting
Understanding what affects survival after severe belly injury
This study looks at patients with severe injuries to the belly area to find out which factors affect whether they survive their hospital stay. The goal is to improve care for people with these serious injuries.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 16 years+ - NCT04615065Recruiting
Biobank study collecting emergency data for very sick patients
This study collects health and sometimes blood sample information from people arriving at the emergency department with high-risk or serious conditions. The goal is to build a large emergency “biobank” to help researchers better understand and improve urgent care.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06492044Recruiting
Testing right heart strain to predict fluid response in septic shock
This study tests whether measuring the strain (stretch) of the right upper heart chamber with ultrasound can predict if a patient with septic shock will benefit from more fluids. Septic shock is a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure and organ damage.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT02735707RecruitingPhase 3
Adaptive trial for severe pneumonia care in intensive care
This study tests ways to improve treatment for adults with severe pneumonia that lands them in the ICU, adjusting the plan as results come in. It may help your care team find better treatments for lung infection and breathing/heart support needs.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07802379Recruiting
Tube feeding tolerance with different blood pressure medications in the intensive care unit
This study looks at how critically ill patients on a breathing tube and receiving nutrition through a tube tolerate their feeding, depending on the dose of medications given to manage their blood pressure. It aims to see if feeding works well while patients are on these medications.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07807852Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for CRPS after wrist fracture
This trial tests whether sound wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain from a chronic pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) that started after a wrist fracture. It might help reduce pain and improve recovery.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT07782723Recruiting
Shock wave and blood-flow therapy for tennis elbow
This study tests two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): shock wave therapy, which uses sound waves to help healing, and blood flow restriction therapy, which uses a cuff to increase blood flow during exercise. It aims to see if combining them works better than either alone, which might help reduce pain and improve your arm's function.
AnkaraAges 18–60 - NCT07779720Recruiting
Personalized fluids for emergency sepsis care
This trial tests a personalized approach to giving IV fluids to patients with sepsis in the emergency department. It uses a device to monitor your heart and blood flow to help doctors decide how much fluid you need, which may improve recovery.
Murray, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT04448951Recruiting
Study of immune response in early sepsis or septic shock
This trial looks at how the immune system behaves in the first day after septic shock begins. It may help researchers find better ways to support the body’s immune balance during sepsis, but you must be enrolled very quickly.
Pilsen, Česká RepublikaAges 18 years+ - NCT07772661Enrolling by invitation
Therapy options for deep gluteal pain syndrome
This study compares two treatments for buttock pain that gets worse when you sit. One is a type of hands-on therapy, the other adds sound wave therapy. The goal is to see which helps reduce pain and improve movement.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–45 - NCT05336357Recruiting
Non-invasive treatment plan for septic shock
This study tests a non-invasive, goal-based treatment approach for people with septic shock—an emergency condition caused by severe infection. It may help by using blood-pressure and circulation targets to guide care without more invasive procedures.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07756307Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for calcium deposits in the shoulder
This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment called shock wave therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with calcium deposits in the shoulder tendon. It uses sound waves to break up the deposits, which may relieve pain and help you move better.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 20–70 - NCT07724262Recruiting
Testing the Argos System to measure heart blood flow
This trial is testing a new system called Argos to see if it can measure how much blood your heart pumps more easily than current methods. It is for patients already in the ICU who need a quick change in fluids or blood pressure medicine.
Le Kremlin-BicêtreAges 18 years+ - NCT06570187RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine for kidney protection in sepsis
This trial tests if dexmedetomidine, a sedative, can help protect the kidneys of critically ill patients with sepsis who develop acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube or mask within 48 hours of kidney injury.
CairoAges 18–90 - NCT07706413Recruiting
Plasma exchange for children with severe sepsis
This trial tests whether removing harmful substances from the blood (plasma exchange) can help children with severe infections that cause organ failure or very low blood pressure. If your child is in the hospital with severe sepsis or septic shock and is between 1 month and 18 years old, this treatment might be an option.
Shibīn al Kawm, Menoufia GovernorateAges 1 month–18 years - NCT06644963Recruiting
Impella heart pump study: safety and complications
This study reviews how well people tolerated the Impella heart pump during cardiogenic shock and what complications occurred. It looks at past cases from 2010 to 2022 to help doctors understand the safety of this device.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06645990Recruiting
Comparing Heart Pumps for Shock With ECMO
This study compares two support devices (Impella vs. IABP) for people with cardiogenic shock who are already on ECMO. It looks at how well the left side of the heart recovers when one of these devices is added.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07682766Recruiting
Biomarkers of inflammation and infection in critical care
This study looks at markers of inflammation, infection, and immunity in patients who are in the critical care area. It aims to find early signs of how severe the illness might become, how well treatments work, and if infections will develop.
TorinoAges 18 years+ - NCT06662084Recruiting
Liver enzyme function in people with cardiogenic shock on heart pumps
This study tests whether your liver’s drug-processing enzymes (CYP) work normally during cardiogenic shock when you are on a heart pump like ECMO or Impella®. The goal is to help doctors choose the right medicines for you.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06670248Recruiting
Study of blood vessel health during burn surgery
This trial looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (called the glycocalyx) responds during surgery to remove burned skin. The goal is to improve care for people with major burns.

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.
