Getting brain injury patients moving earlier in the ICU: a safety check
NCT ID NCT05038930
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether it is safe to get patients with severe brain injuries out of bed early in the intensive care unit. 22 patients were moved using a special device called the Sara Combilizer, and researchers measured brain oxygen levels and other vital signs. The goal was to see if early mobilisation could be done without harming the brain, potentially reducing complications from lying still for too long.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sara Combilizer (mobilisation device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that early mobilisation is safe for severe brain injury patients, potentially reducing complications from bed rest.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase study with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The intervention is a single session, not a long-term treatment.
