Ventilator patients at risk of joint stiffness: new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07339397
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 150 adult patients on ventilators in the ICU to see how often they develop joint contractures (stiff joints). Researchers measure joint movement regularly and track factors like sedation and immobility. The goal is to find what causes these contractures and help improve future care. No new treatments are being tested.
