EMG device study in healthy people and ICU patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a device that records muscle activity (EMG) in healthy volunteers and critically ill patients in the ICU. It aims to learn how well the device works in different groups, which could help monitor muscle function in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 90 years old.
- For healthy volunteers: no medical conditions that affect muscles or nerves.
- For ICU patients: you need a family member or legal representative to give consent if you can't speak for yourself.
- For intubated ICU patients: you must be on a breathing tube for at least 24 hours and no longer than 72 hours.
- You cannot have an allergy to medical tape or gel pads used with the device.

This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, helping prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients with severe infections. It may help you recover strength faster and avoid long-term disability.
This trial tests whether electrical muscle stimulation plus extra protein (protein substitute) can improve muscle health and metabolism in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you’re newly admitted and expected to stay on a breathing machine for several days, it may help you keep more muscle strength during recovery.
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.
This study looks at muscle function and disease severity in people who have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 48 hours. It aims to understand how muscle problems relate to recovery and risk, without requiring a breathing machine.
This study measures normal muscle strength in healthy people and ICU patients to create a reference guide. If you are healthy or in the ICU and can follow instructions, you may be able to help.
This study uses a quick, painless electrical test to measure muscle health in people with nerve or muscle disorders and in healthy volunteers. It aims to learn how these measurements change over time, which may help diagnose and monitor these conditions better.
