Gut bacteria transplant for ICU delirium
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a transplant of healthy gut bacteria (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can help treat delirium in ICU patients. It may improve brain function by restoring gut health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and have delirium confirmed by a specific test (CAM-ICU).
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for at least 5 more days after joining the study.

- You must not have a severe infection, unstable blood pressure, major bleeding, or recent bowel surgery.

This study tests whether giving patients a special preparation of healthy donor stool (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can help with feeding intolerance, which is when the gut cannot handle food or nutrition given through a tube. If this works, it may improve nutrition and recovery for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at the gut bacteria of ICU patients who cannot tolerate tube feeding. Doctors want to see if these bacteria can be used as markers of how well a patient is responding to feeding, and maybe guide future treatment.
This study looks at the bacteria in the gut of patients with sepsis in the ICU. It aims to understand how these bacteria change during critical illness, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how gut bacteria affect severe infections in the ICU. It tests whether the microbiome can be a source of sepsis and a target for treatment. If you are critically ill or a long-term sepsis survivor, you might help find new ways to prevent infections.
This study tests a treatment that changes the gut bacteria of adults in the ICU who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if it helps prevent harmful germs from growing in the gut, which might lead to better recovery.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria (called fecal microbiota transplant) can improve sleep in people with chronic insomnia. The treatment is given through an endoscopy, which is a procedure where a thin tube is used to deliver the bacteria to your intestines.
