Brain wave study in sepsis patients in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at brain wave patterns in patients with sepsis (a severe infection that can affect the brain) during their time in the intensive care unit. The goal is to understand how the brain is affected, which may help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have sepsis, a serious infection that affects your whole body.
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) and expected to stay for at least 24 hours.
- You or your legal guardian can agree to the study.
- You have no other major brain conditions (like a stroke or brain infection) that would interfere.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have no open wounds or infections on your scalp that would make the EEG electrodes painful or unsafe.

This study builds a group of adults with sepsis who develop sudden brain problems, like delirium or coma. It aims to better understand how often this happens and how it may be recognized in hospital, which could help future care.
This study looks at whether simple blood tests can help predict if people who have had sepsis will have thinking or memory problems later. If you are in the ICU with sepsis, this trial might help doctors understand your risk for long-term brain issues.
This trial studies treatments for sepsis, a serious infection complication, in ICU patients. It aims to find better ways to care for critically ill patients with sepsis.
This study looks at the bacteria in the gut of patients with sepsis in the ICU. It aims to understand how these bacteria change during critical illness, which could lead to better treatments.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation through thin needles placed in the lower legs (electroacupuncture) can help patients fight sepsis in the ICU. It aims to see if this treatment reduces organ damage and speeds recovery.
This trial studies whether using EEG (a brain-wave test) in the ICU can help guide care for people whose seizures keep going despite initial medicines. It may benefit patients with severe, difficult-to-stop status epilepticus by improving how doctors find and treat ongoing seizure activity.
