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 cannot be on a regular schedule of antipsychotic medications (like Haldol or Seroquel) at the time of joining.
- You must not have a severe infection, unstable blood pressure, major bleeding, or recent bowel surgery.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking strong immune-suppressing drugs.

This trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT)—transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor to your digestive system—can help critically ill patients tolerate food and nutrition delivered through a feeding tube. The goal is to restore gut function and improve recovery in the ICU.
This study tests whether a treatment called fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can help clear stubborn lung infections (MDRO) in people who are in the ICU on a ventilator. The goal is to see if FMT can improve recovery and reduce the risk of further organ problems.
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 trial tests if a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can improve survival and recovery in ICU patients with sepsis. FMT involves transferring healthy donor bacteria into your gut to help fight severe infection.
This study looks at changes in the microbiome (gut bacteria) in adults after serious ICU illnesses like sepsis, major trauma, or open heart/abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be harder in some people and guide future treatments.
This study looks at gut bacteria changes in people in the ICU with severe brain injury or multiple trauma/shock. It uses a noninvasive breathing measurement to see how energy needs relate to the gut's microbes.
