Studying rehab practices in the intensive care unit
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study watches how patients in the intensive care unit are helped to move and strengthen their muscles (rehabilitation) during their stay. It does not give any new treatment or medicine, but simply documents what usual care looks like for people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are expected to need a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 48 hours.
- You are in the first 5 days of your intensive care stay.
- You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not taking part in another rehab study in the ICU.
- You have health insurance through a social security plan.

This trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
This study tests a rehabilitation program for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have been on a ventilator for at least 2 days. The goal is to help them regain strength and mobility as they recover and leave the hospital.
This study tests whether starting physical therapy and tailored nutrition early and continuing for a longer time helps people recover after being on a breathing machine and blood pressure support in the ICU.
This study tests a new imaging method to guide rehabilitation exercises for people who are struggling to breathe without a ventilator. It aims to help them recover faster and more safely.
This study tests whether adding a special exercise method, called blood-flow restriction training, to standard rehab can help people who are weak after being on a ventilator. It tries to make muscles stronger and speed up recovery.
This trial tests whether special breathing exercises can help patients who have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU for at least 3 days get off the machine more successfully. The exercises focus on strengthening the muscles you use to breathe in.
