Sleep study with a medication in intensive care patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a medication called gamma-hydroxybutyrate to see how it affects sleep patterns in patients who are hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers will use special monitoring equipment to measure your brain waves and sleep quality while you receive this medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old
- You have been in the ICU for more than 48 hours
- You are stable enough to participate (not at immediate risk)

This study tests whether adding ketamine to sedation medications helps patients recover better after they no longer need a breathing machine in the hospital. Researchers want to see if it reduces confusion and speeds up healing.
This study tests whether personalized nighttime nursing care can improve sleep quality and health outcomes for conscious patients in the intensive care unit. Researchers believe better sleep may help patients recover faster and have better long-term health.
This trial tests whether a sleep medication called lormetazepam can improve sleep quality and brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine. It may help if you need sedation and are expected to stay in the ICU for at least two days.
This study tests if adding a calming medicine called dexmedetomidine to a sleep-promoting routine can help reduce delirium in ICU patients who are awake and on a breathing machine or high-flow oxygen.
This trial tests a new medication, HBS-301, in people with idiopathic hypersomnia (a condition causing excessive sleepiness without clear cause). It aims to see if the drug improves wakefulness and is safe.
This study tests a new bedside monitoring system that tracks brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving sedative medications. It aims to help doctors better manage sedation and improve patient care.
