Sound waves aimed at spleen may tame deadly inflammation in septic shock
NCT ID NCT06990295
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive ultrasound device, aimed at the spleen, can safely reduce dangerous inflammation in people with septic shock. Septic shock is a life-threatening condition where the body's response to infection causes organ damage. Forty adults in the intensive care unit will either receive standard care alone or standard care plus twice-daily ultrasound treatments for five days. Researchers will measure changes in inflammatory markers and track recovery, organ function, and survival.
