Studying frailty support for ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial looks at ways to help “frailty” (low strength and resilience) in people staying in intensive care units. It mainly enrolls adults who expect to be in the ICU for more than 24 hours, and it tries to avoid people whose mobility problems have other causes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult (18 or older) admitted to a Surgical, Cardiothoracic, or Neuro ICU
- Expect your ICU stay to last more than 24 hours
- Do not have a known muscle problem or mitochondrial disease that affects muscle size/quality
- Do not have paralysis before this hospital stay
- Not missing lower legs (no absence of lower limbs)
- Not currently in a discussion about changing or limiting goals of care (goals of care conversations)

This study looks at how frailty (overall weakness and vulnerability) affects recovery, disability, and quality of life in older adults after a serious ICU stay. It aims to understand how pre-existing frailty influences outcomes to improve care for older ICU patients.
This study looks at how frailty affects the course of chronic diseases and how chronic diseases affect frailty. It may help understand aging-related conditions better.
This trial looks at whether “frailty” (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes short- and long-term outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors better predict who could benefit from extra support before and after surgery.
This study looks at people with COPD or ILD who also show signs of frailty. It aims to understand how frailty and muscle loss (sarcopenia) affect their care and use of medical resources over time.
This trial checks whether a “frailty” rating (how physically/mentally vulnerable someone is) can predict the risk of death in ICU patients with sepsis shock. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients earlier and tailor care.
This study looks at frailty in older adults who have a certain type of hip fracture. It may help doctors better understand how frailty affects recovery after hip surgery.
