Can Shenfu injection help blood vessels in septic shock?
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether Shenfu injection can improve the flexibility of blood vessels in people with severe infections (sepsis or septic shock). It may help understand how to better support the heart and circulation during critical illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a severe infection (sepsis or septic shock) that began recently.
- Your doctor will use a test called SOFA score (measures organ function) to confirm your condition.
- You or a family member must agree in writing to join the study.
- You cannot have severe hardening or plaque in your neck arteries (carotid artery).
- You cannot have serious heart problems (like very weak heart muscle or out-of-control irregular heartbeat) or advanced liver/kidney disease.

This study tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine injection (Shenfu) can improve blood flow and organ function in patients with septic shock—a life-threatening infection where the body's blood pressure drops dangerously low despite fluids. Researchers want to see if this treatment helps the heart pump blood more effectively to vital organs.
This trial tests whether Shenfu injection can help prevent heart muscle damage in people with septic shock. If you have septic shock, you may be able to join this study to see if this treatment helps protect your heart.
This trial tests if Shenhuang granules, a traditional Chinese medicine, can help treat sepsis (a life-threatening response to infection). It aims to see if it improves outcomes for patients with sepsis.
This study tests whether using ultrasound (heart imaging and blood-vessel scanning) helps doctors treat septic shock—a life-threatening blood infection—more effectively. The trial measures whether these imaging tools help guide fluid and medication decisions during resuscitation.
This study looks at how well the heart works with the blood vessels in people with sepsis or septic shock. It uses special ultrasound tests to measure heart function and may help find new ways to guide treatment.
This trial tests whether a blood filtering treatment called hemoadsorption can help protect blood vessels in people with septic shock. It may be an option for patients who are already on strong blood pressure medications and steroids.
