Lifestyle program for recovery after intensive care
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a 20-week lifestyle program that combines exercise, nutrition, and other healthy habits to help people who are still having physical problems after an ICU stay. The goal is to improve your recovery and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This trial looks at how well your heart and lungs work together after a long stay in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a simple exercise test to check your recovery after leaving the hospital.
