Lifestyle program for recovery after ICU stay
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a 20-week lifestyle program (including exercise, nutrition advice, and coaching) for people who still have physical problems after a stay in the intensive care unit. The goal is to help you feel stronger and improve your quality of life.

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.
This study tests if a special nutrition program helps people who have been in the ICU recover better when they move to a regular hospital ward. It looks at how well your body uses food and if this improves your recovery.
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
This study looks at muscle and metabolism changes in people who have been in the ICU for at least 7 days after major abdominal surgery. It aims to understand how recovery affects the body.
This trial studies ways to improve recovery of skeletal muscle in people who have been very sick in the ICU. It focuses on preventing problems with the body’s muscle “repair cells” after critical illness.
