Tracking muscle changes in ICU patients with sepsis
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This study is for people in the ICU with sepsis who need a breathing machine for a long time. It monitors muscle changes during recovery to understand how sepsis affects muscles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 7 days.
- You will likely need a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 48 hours.
- You have sepsis (a severe infection) at the time you enter the ICU.
- You are not pregnant, do not have active cancer, and do not have a long-term muscle or nerve condition.

This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, helping prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients with severe infections. It may help you recover strength faster and avoid long-term disability.
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.
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 adding physical therapy early in the ICU can help people with sepsis regain strength and reduce muscle weakness. It focuses on patients who need a breathing tube for at least a week and have a high level of organ failure.
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 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.
