Early Movement Therapy for Brain Injury in Hospital ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how gentle, early physical movement during ICU care affects recovery in patients with serious brain injuries like stroke or head trauma. Researchers will track how patients respond to a structured movement program while they're on a breathing machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are in an intensive care unit (ICU) in Scandinavia for a serious brain injury (stroke or traumatic head injury)
- Your injury is moderate to severe in nature
- You are currently on a breathing machine (ventilator) and expected to need it for at least 24 hours
- Your medical team believes you have a reasonable chance of survival and are not pursuing comfort-only care

This study tests a special brain-monitoring system in the ICU for people with severe brain injuries. It aims to give doctors early warnings about changes in the brain and help predict recovery, which may improve treatment and outcomes.
This study looks at how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
This study tests whether starting physical therapy and movement early is safe and possible for patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve recovery for people who are stable enough to participate.
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 gentle movement and touch earlier helps patients on breathing machines in the intensive care unit recover better. It may help you regain strength and feel more comfortable while in the hospital.
This trial tests a technology-assisted program to help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) start moving earlier while on a breathing machine. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications from being in bed for too long.
