Sound waves aim to tame septic shock inflammation
NCT ID NCT06990295
First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new, non-invasive treatment for septic shock, a life-threatening condition where the body's response to infection causes dangerous inflammation. The treatment uses focused ultrasound waves to stimulate the spleen, which may help reduce levels of inflammatory chemicals in the blood. About 40 adults in the ICU will either receive standard care alone or standard care plus twice-daily ultrasound sessions for five days. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can lower inflammation, improve organ function, and potentially reduce time in the ICU.
