Muscle weakness in hospitalized patients outside the ICU
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at muscle weakness that can develop when you are in the hospital for an acute illness but not in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand how common this weakness is and what factors might be involved.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently hospitalized for a sudden (acute) illness but not in the ICU
- You can provide written consent to join the study
- You do not have a history of nerve or muscle disorders like peripheral neuropathy or myasthenia gravis
- You are not in a coma and can have your muscle strength checked

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at blood and body chemistry (called metabolomics) to understand and possibly predict muscle weakness that can happen in the ICU after surgery. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or monitor this problem.
This study uses a type of ultrasound (shear wave elastography) to test nerve and muscle health in ICU patients on breathing machines. The goal is to catch muscle weakness early so doctors can intervene sooner.
This trial tests if a walking program combined with electrical stimulation can help people recover walking ability after critical illness. It is for patients who developed limb weakness in the hospital and were independent before their illness.
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 study tests a high-tech rehab program using robots and advanced tools to help people recover from acute neuromuscular diseases. It aims to see if this approach improves leg strength and mobility better than standard care.
This study aims to find better ways to detect and track muscle weakness that can happen during an ICU stay. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could help improve early diagnosis and care.
