Predicting muscle weakness in ICU patients with urine test
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study checks if a urine test and muscle measurements can help predict muscle weakness in critically ill patients. It aims to find an easier way to identify who might get weaker in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your family member is an adult over 18 years old
- Expected to stay in the ICU for more than 5 days
- Not in the ICU after surgery (non-surgical patients only)
- No diagnosis of a neuromuscular disease (like muscular dystrophy)
- Not pregnant
- No recent trauma at the measurement site

This study aims to find better ways to detect and track muscle weakness that can happen during an ICU stay. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could help improve early diagnosis and care.
This study measures normal muscle strength in healthy people and ICU patients to create a reference guide. If you are healthy or in the ICU and can follow instructions, you may be able to help.
This study looks at muscle function and disease severity in people who have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 48 hours. It aims to understand how muscle problems relate to recovery and risk, without requiring a breathing machine.
This study aims to predict muscle weakness that can happen to children on breathing machines in the ICU. It could help doctors start treatments earlier to prevent this weakness.
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
This study checks how leg muscles recover after being in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a strength test and a special ultrasound to measure muscle health.
